Onederland

“Onederland is reminiscent of Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain, in which Mann utilized a novel to describe a Europe about to fall into what was then the Great War. Mesmerizing!”
- Hollis George, noted editor and anthologist

This novel is a response to the terrorism we live with as a result of the conflicts in religious thought, principles, and actions throughout the world. Subsequent to the unraveling of summer religious violence in New York City, a group of activist religious leaders conceptualize and develop a religious theme park meant to promote mutual understanding and harmony. With finely honed clerical characters working toward a common cause, important insights into the nature of religion emerge.

Onederland is an important book to read if one wants to understand the terror found all too often on the front page. Onederland suggests a long range direction in which the conflicts of spiritual consciousness can be peacefully resolved.

Larry Lentchner, Ph.D., is a practicing psychologist. Over the years he developed interest and expertise in the treatment of drug addiction, sports psychology, hemisphericity, and consciousness evolution. As terrorism began to take its vicious hold on life and emotional health, Dr. Lentchner began to work through his understanding of the origins and dynamics of terroristic consciousness. This effort, over a decade in the making, led to the novel Onederland. Dr. Lentchner lives in Branchville, New Jersey, with his wife, Kathleen. He has four children and five grandchildren. He maintains a small practice of psychotherapy, leaving him time to write.
