About Magnificent Vibration: A Novel
Product Description After making an unexpected connection with God via his cell phone, one man embarks on an unlikely spiritual quest in this smart, savvy, rambunctious debut from Grammy Award-winning musician and New York Times bestselling author Rick Springfield. Why are we here? What is love? Is there a loch ness monster? Does God send text messages? These are the kinds of questions Horatio Cotton, aka Bobby, asks in New York Times bestseller Rick Springfield’s debut novel, Magnificent Vibration. After stealing a mysterious self-help book called Magnificent Vibration: Discover Your True Purpose from a bookstore, Bobby calls the 1-800 number scrawled inside the front cover, only to discover that he has a direct line to God. This launches Bobby on an unlikely quest, serendipitously accompanied by a breathtakingly sexy and exceedingly sharp travel companion named Alice. Together the pair sets out to find some combination of spiritual and carnal salvation—and possibly save the planet. By turns hilarious, poignant, over-the-top, and deeply meaningful, Magnificent Vibration is a highly original novel about the biggest questions one man—or mankind—has ever asked. From Booklist *Starred Review* Horatio Cotton has been questioning a lot of things lately. After finding out that his wife has been cheating on him with not one, not two, but a veritable Rolodex of strangers, Horatio steals a self-help book to figure out how to rebuild his life. He doesn’t expect the 1-800 number scrawled on the inside front cover to be God’s personal line, and he certainly doesn’t expect to meet up with two other people who have purchased the same book, with the same phone number and the same results. This seemingly benign book was obviously meant to bring Horatio, Alice, and Lexington together, and they set out on a journey that just might answer all of their questions . . . and then some. Musician Springfield, no stranger to the literary world after penning his highly-touted memoir, Late, Late at Night (2010), branches into fiction with this novel. With shades of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979) and the clever, self-deprecating wit of Augusten Burroughs and Max Barry, Springfield’s highly original work is the rare antidote to the celebrity ghostwritten books often found on today’s best-seller lists. Captivating, poignant, and hilarious, Magnificent Vibration proves that some of the most interesting stories can come from pretty unlikely places. --Stephanie Turza Review “Rick Springfield's fiction debut, MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION, is a rollicking romp of a book. His view of divine intervention may not be mine, but his storytelling shines in this clever, entertaining – and sometimes surprisingly enlightening – first novel.” Author: Mitch Albom, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel, The First Phone Call from Heaven “Remarkably creative . . . Springfield delivers a buckle-your-seat-belts ride. . . . A readable comic meditation on human frailty." Source: Kirkus Reviews “Forget all the Old and New Testament tales. The Bible’s latest installment, Magnificent Vibration, is a thought-provoking and clever take on how the Almighty actually runs the universe, or universes. God’s cell phone number, personified sexual organs and a conclusion that is surprising and dire, and somehow hilarious, are just some of the madness that make Rick Springfield’s debut novel a romp.” Author: Jon Methven, author of This Is Your Captain Speaking “A surprising odyssey through the no man’s land between religion and pop culture, MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION is by turns racy, sacrilegious, sweet, and sincere. If you’ve been searching for a novel about God, sex, and the Loch Ness Monster, Rick Springfield’s irreverent debut is for you.” Author: Peter Manseau, author of Songs for the Butcher’s Daughter “Combines the comedic elements of PhilipRoth’s Portnoy’s Complaint with the subversive ontological questioning of KingDavid in Joseph Heller’s God Knows.” So
