Don't know. I don't normally read fiction.
It's a picture book written by the guy who wrote "cathedral" and "castle". It has an archeologist "discovering" a motel room many years in the future, and deciding it is a religious sanctuary. He goes through each piece of motel furniture explaining its religious significance.
I always think of it whenever I read articles like this. The writer got awful fast from a wood path to a "place to lay the dead".
