GOD IS DEAD

"[A] stoic poignancy reminiscent of Raymond Carver..."God Is Dead" is aheady cocktail of ideas...Currie has proved he can write and write well."- "Guardian". God - or Sora, as she's called - has come to earth toexperience its conflicts first hand, but adopting a human form also meansassuming human frailty and mortality, and when Sora's death - and her trueidentity - is discovered, the world is immediately and irrevocably changed.Waves of panic, civil unrest and mass suicide sweep the globe; young mentake the future into their own hands, armies go to war over fate versusfree will, and parents - in the absence of an alternative, and withnothing else to do on a Sunday - turn their children into objects ofworship. "God is Dead" is truly - and terrifyingly - original; blasphemousand heretical, it's an exceptional debut and a remarkable read."From itsstark title to its startling final page, Ron Currie's novel packs onetight 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, hedoes it with such humour, you'll barely notice." - "Telegraph". "Assmart and addictive as any debut novel you're likely to pick up thisyear..." - "List".
