God is Dead Book

"[A] stoic poignancy reminiscent of Raymond Carver..."God Is Dead" is a heady cocktail of ideas...Currie has proved he can write and write well." - "Guardian". God - or Sora, as she's called - has come to earth to experience its conflicts first hand, but adopting a human form also means assuming human frailty and mortality, and when Sora's death - and her true identity - is discovered, the world is immediately and irrevocably changed. Waves of panic, civil unrest and mass suicide sweep the globe; young men take the future into their own hands, armies go to war over fate versus free will, and parents - in the absence of an alternative, and with nothing else to do on a Sunday - turn their children into objects of worship. "God is Dead" is truly - and terrifyingly - original; blasphemous and heretical, it's an exceptional debut and a remarkable read."From its stark title to its startling final page, Ron Currie's novel packs one tight punch of fresh ideas in prose so smart it smarts...As a satirist, Currie has only bad news to impart but, as a devotee of Kurt Vonnegut, he does it with such humour, you'll barely notice." - "Telegraph". "As smart and addictive as any debut novel you're likely to pick up this year..." - "List".
