I Am God: A Novel

I Am God: A Novel

Diabolically funny and subversively philosophical, Italian novelist Giacomo Sartoriâ€™s I am God is the diary of the Almightyâ€™s existential crisis that ensues when he falls in love with a human.

I am God. Have been forever, will be forever. Forever, mind you, with the razor-sharp glint of a diamond, and without any counterpart in the languages of men. So begins Godâ€™s diary of the existential crisis that ensues when, inexplicably, he falls in love with a human. And not just any human, but a geneticist and fanatical atheist whoâ€™s certain she can improve upon the magnificent creation she doesnâ€™t even give him the credit for. Itâ€™s frustrating, for a god.

God has infinitely bigger things to occupy his celestial attentions. Yet he canâ€™t tear his eyes (so to speak) from the geneticist whoâ€™s unsettlingly avid when it comes to science, sex, and Sicilian cannoli. Whatever happens, he must safeguard his transcendental dignity. So he watchesâ€”disinterestedly, of courseâ€”as the handsome climatologist who has his sights set on her keeps having strange accidents. And as the lanky geneticist becomes hell-bent on infiltrating the Vaticanâ€™s secret files, for reasons of her ownâ€¦.

A sly critique of the hypocrisy and hubris that underlie faith in religion, science, and macho careerism, I Am God takes us on a hilarious and provocative romp through the Big Questions with the universeâ€™s supreme storyteller.
