Does faith require spectacle? Is self-promotion the primary goal of American society? Bobby Conn knows the answer is YES, loud and clear. He gladly embraces the most cynical hypocrisies, and eagerly awaits the opportunity to sell his soul to any passing Mephistopheles. He is a student of the motivational speaker and the self-help guru and values confidence and authority above truth and knowledge. He loves a winner, but blames himself for his own lack of success. He is a failed opportunist, a hapless victim of his own ambition. He is constantly undermined by his own ignorance and arrogance but assumes that any admission of guilt is a sign of weakness. He cannot learn from his mistakes, and interprets failure as a call for more aggressive striving. He is deluded and lost in the fantasy of his own ego, yet the pathos of his delusion arouses sympathy and is the key to his appeal. He is a walking metaphor for American culture.
