Latest from Mormon Land: 'X-Files' star David Duchovny delves into the world of Mormonism

From paranormal to a not-so-normal Mormon
“X-Files” watchers know that “the truth is out there,” and David Duchovny’s Latter-day Saint fans should know that so is his new novel, which includes hefty helpings of Mormonism.
Released this month, “Truly Like Lightning,” the latest creation from the Ivy League-educated actor turned writer, centers on Bronson Powers, a former Hollywood stuntman who converts to Mormonism (and its earlier teachings) and homesteads off the grid with his three wives and 10 children on the desert near Southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park.
“Seduced by the faith’s outsider-ish, independent spirit, [Bronson] adopts an originalist interpretation of the religion,” states a Washington Post review. “...Bronson’s undiluted Mormonism gives Duchovny a metaphor for American reinvention.”
