Image of the audiobook cover that has a variety of shapes that are intended to be rainbow abstractions of the foliage from the woods, along with a sign post for the title. This signifies the remote location for the atonement camp. Among the abstract weeds and leaves, one may spot a cocktail glass, daiquiri glass, and a high-heeled shoe. Those objects blend in like camouflage within the images and serve as a link to the drag queens featured in the novel. The images are intentionally hard to see. This illustrates one of the book’s central themes - we sometimes only see what we want to.

 

Hello, dear audiobooks friends! In today’s article, I will tell you a few things about Atonement Camp for Unrepentant Homophobes by Evan J. Corbin, a new novel featuring characters within the LGBTQ+ community. The book has also been recently released in audiobook format, narrated by Christopher Solon, and the audio production has a run time of a little under seven hours.

Let’s take a look at the Publisher’s Summary to learn about the plot and, after that, we will make our acquaintance with the author and the narrator:

The oldest translation of a gospel is returned to the world by a secret society long dedicated to its preservation. In it, Jesus explicitly condemns bigotry and homophobia. In a new world in which LGBTQ passengers receive preferential boarding for flights and the United States has elected its first lesbian president, Pastor Rick Harris is stalwart, closeted preacher who doggedly holds on to his increasingly unpopular convictions.

When an incendiary sermon goes too far and offends an influential family, Rick makes a painful choice to keep his job: He attends an atonement camp run by drag queens for society’s most unrepentant and terminally incurable homophobes.

Atonement Camp is immersion therapy for Pastor Harris, and it might be working. An open bar with pedicures, a devastatingly attractive roommate, and an endless supply of glitter help him manage to make new friends. Soon, Rick and his cohorts learn the camp may hold its own secrets. Amid the smiling faces and scantily clad pool boys who staff the camp, a clandestine group plots to discredit the New Revelation and everything it stands for.

If Rick has the conviction to confront his own hypocrisy, he might be able to uncover the conspirators with help from his adopted flock – and find new truths within himself.

Evan J. Corbin is a member of the LGBTQ community who fancies himself as a playboy socialite, living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Between work and lucid moments of sobriety, he writes a little. His debut novel is a light-hearted work that still manages to confront religious hypocrisy and contemporary LGBTQ struggles to balance their loss of culture with new-found civil rights. His friends say the book is great! Hopefully, you will as well.

Christopher Solon is an experienced voice over performer, actor, teacher and business professional based in New York City who brings a straightforward, easily comedic or dramatic approach to his narration projects.

I already started listening to Atonement Camp for Unrepentant Homophobes by Evan J. Corbin and I find it very interesting. I will return soon with a full review, but until then, take care, stay safe and don’t forget, always listen with your heart!
