Dr. Tata returns to Red River with an oddly coherent message from the apocalyptic Book of Revelation. Turns out John’s Revelation isn’t a fanatical religious rant. Even in the first century, we were warned against the idolatries of empire, and the warning is even more timely today vis à vis the climate crisis. The hegemony is slow to be moved to fix what it can fix. It’s an inconvenient truth about how we have come to this point in our history. (Spoiler alert: The whole book’s a spoiler.)
