Summary

Diabolically funny and subversively philosophical, the diary of the Almighty's existential crisis that erupts when he falls in love with a human. And not just any human, but a geneticist and fanatical atheist who's certain she can improve upon the magnificent creation she doesn't even give him credit for. Which is frustrating, for a god. God has infinitely bigger things to occupy his celestial attentions. Yet he can{u2019}t tear his eyes (so to speak) from the geneticist who{u2019}s unsettlingly avid when it comes to science, sex, and Sicilian cannoli. Whatever happens, he must safeguard his transcendental dignity. So he watches{u2014}disinterestedly, of course{u2014}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 Vatican{u2019}s secret files, for reasons of her own.... A sly critique of the hypocrisy and hubris that underlie faith in religion, science, and macho careerism, it takes us on a hilarious and provocative romp through the Big Questions with the universe{u2019}s supreme storyteller
