They call me Carpenter; a tale of the second coming

What would happen if Jesus Christ paid a visit to California in the early twentieth century? That's exactly what transpires in this thought-provoking tale from Upton Sinclair, author of the renowned meatpacking industry expose, The Jungle. Sinclair's messiah figure has a lot to say about the decadence of 1920s America, and not much of it is positive.

  • "What would Jesus make of California in the 1920s? A man named Carpenter miraculously appears from the stained-glass window of a church to rescue a young man from a violent mob. Carpenter is soon appalled by the modern world's injustices in this 1922 satirical fantasy."
  • "By using Jesus, or Carpenter as Sinclair calls him, as a literary figure, Sinclair exposes the new and upcoming culture of 1920's Southern California, namely Hollywood. The story takes place in the fictional city of Western City, and begins with a man named Billy being is attacked by a mob outside of a theater after watching a German film. Billy then stumbles into a church and is visited by Carpenter, a.k.a. Jesus, who walks out of a stained glass window. Carpenter is shocked and appalled by the upper-class culture. The story then roughly follows the biblical account of the Ministry of Jesus Christ. In the end, Carpenter decides to escape the corroded culture by jumping back into the stained glass window from whence he came."

  • "Although Sinclair had written very critically of organized religion in his book The Profits of Religion, in this novel he takes a more human approach to the story of Christ. Of course, the Christ character is repulsed by the show of wealth he finds in 1920s California culture, which ultimately contributes to his leaving. In that sense, They Call Me Carpenter fits well into the canon of Upton Sinclair."@en
