I don't know who is familiar with this author, but you should surely read some of his books.
Book Review
I just finished reading Not Wanted on the Voyage, and am convinced there is nobody who put down this book after starting it. Surely, it is the most imaginitive books I've read in a while.
It's an account of Noah and the ark...though with a very bizarre slant. Noah is a tyrant who kills kittens for experiments and sacrifices everything he kills as a way to justify it in his mind. His wife is an aloholic and love her cat...who can talk...and who is in heat but afraid of mating because her several past litters have been plunde5red by noad for scientific experiements.
Yahew (God) is old and has food in his beard. He is a manic depressive, caused by the state of the world. (on his way to see noah he gets killed seven times.
People say he is dying
When he sees noah do a magic trick in which he pours water into a bottle and the penny at the bottom dissapears...he gets an idea in his head to do something similar...on a larger scale
-------------------------------
believe me!! when they get on the ark it gets disturbing...almost too much so.
"this marvellously fantastic fable, an awesome and poetic rendition of the ancient one, is tender and terrifying, humourous and heart-rending, abundant in implication and questions for our own desperately hurting and threatened world"
