Produktbeschreibung

"delightfully satirical, exciting, and brilliantly multi-layered" - Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

"...thought provoking and mind bogglingly crazy. A great read!" - Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars

God is dead.

The Angel Raphael visits tanker captain Anthony Van Horne, and now he must tow God's corpse to the Arctic (to preserve Him from sharks and decomposition). En route Van Horne must contend with ecological guilt, a militant girlfriend, both natural and spiritual sabotage, and greedy hucksters of oil, condoms, and doubtful ideas.

Towing Jehovah is a satirical exploration of humankind's relationship with God, and an astute observation of Western culutre.

Autorenporträt

James Morrow (1947 - )
Born in Philadelphia, James Morrow spent much of his teenage life in Hillside Cemetery, where he entertained his passion for 8mm moviemaking by creating numerous short horror and fantasy films with his friends. Having received degrees from both the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University, he then turned his creative urges to writing. Commonly in his works, Morrow satirises organised religion and elements of humanism and atheism. He is perhaps best known for the Godhead Trilogy, the first of which, Towing Jehovah, won the World Fantasy Award in 1995. He currently lives in Pennsylvania with his family.
