Edited iterations of these collated pieces were delivered by actor Michael Shannon, as directed by Jennifer Lebeau, on the DVD included in the deluxe edition of Bob Dylan’s Trouble No More: The Bootleg Series Vol. 13—1979-1981 (2017); a film broadcast in the UK as an entry in the BBC’s ongoing Arena series.

What the world needs now are these conjured sermons from the always brilliant mind of Lucy Sante. In these rollicking and clarifying exhortations, she urges us to find the good and the God in everyone. We look inward, see how we have faltered, and discover our humanity. What is so refreshing is the call to love all of us: the fallen, the fools, the forgotten. -- Dana Spiotta

This beautiful book will appeal to sinners and the saved alike. --Aquarium Drunkard
