The award-winning, irreverent, and darkly funny trilogy from โthe most provocative satiric voice in science fictionโ (The Washington Post).
ย
The complete Godhead Trilogy from James Morrow, including Towing Jehovah, Blameless in Abaddon, and The Eternal Footman.
ย
In the World Fantasy Awardโwinning Towing Jehovah, God has died, and Anthony Van Horne must tow the corpse to the Arctic (to preserve Him from sharks and decomposition). En route Van Horne must also contend with ecological guilt, a militant girlfriend, sabotage both natural and spiritual, and greedy hucksters of oil, condoms, and doubtful ideas.
ย
Blameless in Abaddon, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, is a โfunny, ferocious fantasyโ (Philadelphia Inquirer). God is a comatose, two-mile-long tourist attraction at a Florida theme parkโuntil a conniving judge decides to put Him on trial in The Hague for crimes against humanity.
ย
The Eternal Footman completes Morrowโs darkly comic trilogy about Godโs untimely demise. With Godโs skull in orbit, competing with the moon, a plague of โdeath awarenessโ spreads across the Western hemisphere. As the United States sinks into apocalypse, two people fight to preserve life and sanity. A few highlights: a bloody battle on a New Jersey golf course between Jews and anti-Semites; a theater troupeโs stirring dramatization of the Gilgamesh epic; and a debate between Martin Luther and Erasmus. Morrow also gives us his most chilling villain ever: Dr. Adrian Lucido, founder of a new pagan church in Mexico and inventor of a cure worse than any disease.
