Beschreibung:
A mob of teens descends upon Paris in the thrall of a self-help author; a grotesque yard-sale statuette frees a dying man from his silence; the hottest club in town is staffed by angels. This is the uncanny world ofThe Divinity GeneMatthew J. Trafford's debut story collection, and it bristles with humour, pathos, and imaginative power.
Skewering urban culture even as it conjures up the magic in the mundane, the stories ofThe Divinity Gene map the frailty of the human heart. Caught in the crosshairs of faith and science, its characters-bereaved, sidelined, cast adrift-journey forth to undiscovered places, in search of something to believe in, someone to love, always with disarming results. A passionately devout scientist clones Jesus Christ from the DNA contained in holy relics; a man makes a Faustian cyber deal with the devil for the sake of his family; bereaved parents sign on for an unorthodox government reparations project following a school tragedy.
Masterfully original, deeply humanThe Divinity Gene introduces a bold and evocative new writer.
