Another somewhat more specific than usual post-apocalyptic setting, as in "Abbatoir Blues" and "Evil"...could (and is the distinction academic) the "book" be the Koran? Is it the zietgeist, my imagination, or has there been a more tangible sense of worldwide, prophetic doom, compared with earlier, more individual presentations of damnation? Of course, the balance may simply shift between the two poles, but does it seem to others that there is a more pronounced image of a holy war? (forgive the rambling...)
I agree with you. The Koran - as the bible, BTW - diminish the women as servants to men, and Nick Cave is very specific at "It makes slaves of all of womankind".
