The Department Chair
Referred to as Reverend R-r-r-ramon, he is the leader of the Everlasting Church of Prophets in Los Angeles. The narrator gets him to agree to sponsor and employ Bon after “minimal persuasion and a modest cash donation.” The reverend is described as a “rotund” man whose church is a “humble storefront” sitting next to an auto body shop and a vacant lot inhabited by heroin addicts. Bon works for Reverend Ramon as a janitor and is paid in non-taxable income so that the church can serve “Mammon and God.”
