God Is Dead

"If God took human form and was killed, what would become of life as we know it?" "God Is Dead poses this question. In this work of fiction, 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 transformed, yet remains oddly recognizable." "Colin Powell seethes with rage and curses like a street pimp; high school buddies forge a suicide pact; dogs speak Aramaic and walk on water; and parents, for the "lack of anything to do on Sundays," worship their own children. And all this is before the war starts."--BOOK JACKET.Currie, Ron, Jr. is the author of 'God Is Dead ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780670038671 and ISBN 0670038679.
