Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The electrifying, "cutting-edge" (USA Today) debut work of fiction from Ron Currie, author of the forethcoming novel The One-Eyed Man (March 2017) Ron Curries gutsy, funny book is instantly gripping: If God takes human form and dies, what would become of life as we know it? Effortlessly combining outlandish humor with big questions about mortality, ethics, and human weakness, Ron Currie, Jr., holds a funhouse mirror to our present-day world. God has inhabited the mortal body of a young Dinka woman in the Sudan. When she is killed in the Darfur desert, he dies along with her, and word of his death soon begins to spread. Faced with the hard proof that there is no supreme being in charge, the world is irrevocably transformed, yet remains oddly recognizable. Currie presents a satirical, black comedy complete with thought-provoking ethical questions, all using the light touch, empathy, and wisdom that make for an exhilarating reading experience. Offbeat yet accessible, this exciting debut comes from a fresh new voice in contemporary fiction. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
