Abstract

"The Crucifixion of Lou Brokowski (in homage to Flannery O'Connor)" by Stephen Murabito is a story about a man named Lou who volunteers to be crucified in an illegal reenactment. Lou's wife, Becky, is upset with him for his involvement in the reenactment and other reasons. The article explores their arguments and the tensions surrounding the event. During the reenactment, Lou experiences physical discomfort and overhears arguments between other participants. The police eventually arrive and arrest the organizer, leading to chaos and confusion. Lou is mistakenly declared dead but eventually comes back to life, resulting in a joyful reunion with his family. [Extracted from the article]
