An electrifying debut from a provocative new voice in fiction that will remind readers of the best of Vonnegut 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.
This is the book that made me love Ron Currie Jr. Hard hitting, creative, thrilling. The subject matter is really engaging and he pushes the characters to all the dark places that we would go to in our head.
