I am God
I am God | Giacomo Sartori
2 posts | 3 read | 8 to read
Riotously funny and subversively philosophical, Italian novelist Giacomo Sartoris I am God is the diary of the Almightys 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. When a man says, Ill love you forever, everyone knows that forever is a frail and flimsy speck of straw in the wind. A vow that wont be kept, or that in any case is very unlikely to be kept. A lie in other words. But when I say forever, I really do mean forever. So let that be clear. So begins Gods diary of the existential crisis that ensues when, inexplicably, he falls in love with a human. And not just any human, but a fanatical geneticist and atheist whos certain she can improve upon the magnificent creation she doesnt even give him the credit for. Its frustrating, for a god. God has bigger things that could be occupying him instead, such as observing the teeming universe with its dazzling panoramas, its rarefied interstellar wastes, its colliding galaxies and breathtaking supernovas. Instead, he cant tear his eyes (so to speak) from the geneticist whos unsettlingly avid when it comes to science, sex, and Sicilian cannoli. Whatever happens he must safeguard his transcendental dignity. So he watchesdisinterestedly, of courseas 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 Vaticans secret files, for reasons of her own. Cosmically funny and divinely human, I am God is an unforgettable romp through the Big Questions with the universes most incontestably perfect narrator.

I heard about this in last week NYT book review, and I had to have it. It's fantastic. What happens when God falls in love? And to an atheistic scientist at that? How will he take to this very human emotion? With dry, subversive wit our narrator takes on the wild ride which is God's first (and hopefully last) crush. My only words of caution is that it is Frank in sexuality and the narrator's opinions... oh, and you might want a dictionary.
