The electrifying, "cutting-edge" (USA Today) debut work of fiction from Ron Currie, author of the forthcoming novel The One-Eyed Man (March 2017)

Ron Currie’s 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.

批評家のレビュー

"Currie's strength rests in his ability to focus on humanity's conundrums on the smallest physical particles. The truth he presents is that the world has become adsurd; he is merely delivering a steady-cam view."—Los Angeles Times

"[A] cavalierly abitious debut . . . with talking dogs, text message-happy teenagers, and end-of-day shenanigans. Like Kurt Vonnegut, [Currie] seems to understand that in the face of grim and grave concerns, humor is a more powerful salt than screed."John Freeman, San Francisco Chronicle

"In Currie's stories we come to know God as a feral dog and a genocide victim and Colin Powell as a foul-mouthed race warrior. It's not clear which is a greater leap of faith but this brilliant, absurdist fiction lets us embrace them both with a shiver of empathy. I for one would be a happier camper, as the sun sets on the American empire, if more of my own contrymen wrote like Ron Currie."Lydia Millet, author of Oh Pure and Radiant Heart
