Tender Branson, ultimo membro sopravvissuto di una setta, narra la storia della sua vita alla scatola nera di un aereo che sta precipitando al largo dell'Australia. In un crescendo delirante Tender racconta di quando viveva nella comunità della setta ignaro dell'esistenza di un mondo evoluto, e descrive i suoi lavori di maggiordomo, di suggeritore di galateo per "nouveaux riches" in difficoltà, di istigatore telefonico al suicidio. Le sue vicende raggiungono l'apice quando rimane l'unico superstite al suicidio di massa dei membri della setta e grazie alla cinica assistenza di un agente dello spettacolo. Ma le cose si mettono male quando emergono le prove che i suicidi della setta sono in realtà degli omicidi.

Work Description

Tender Branson, the last surviving member of the Creedish death cult, has commandeered a Boeing 747, emptied of passengers, in order to tell his story to the plane’s black box before it crashes. Brought up by the repressive cult and, like all Creedish younger sons, hired out as a domestic servant, Tender finds himself suddenly famous when his fellow cult members all commit suicide. As media messiah, he ascends to the very top of the freak-show heap before finally and apocalyptically spiralling out of control.
