Towing Jehovah

De: James Morrow

Narrado por: Eric G. Dove

God is dead. Died and fell into the sea.

That's what Raphael, a despondent angel with luminous white wings and a blinking halo, tells Anthony Van Horne on his 50th birthday. Soon, Van Horne is charged with captaining the supertanker Carpco Valparaiso (flying the colors of the Vatican) as it tows the two-mile-long corpse through the Atlantic toward the Arctic, in order to preserve Him from sharks and decomposition.

Van Horne must also contend with ecological guilt, a militant girlfriend, an estranged father, sabotage both natural and spiritual, a crew on (and sometimes past) the brink of mutiny, and greedy hucksters of oil, condoms, and doubtful ideas.

As he rings his wild, Vonnegutian changes on everything from male chauvinism to the Catholic Church, James Morrow once again proves himself to be one of the premiere satirists of our time while still managing to capture some of the beauty and sorrow in the world.

Satirical relgious what if

God died and now we must tow him to his burial site amdist staunch opposition…. Irreverant and strange premise. Must be in the mood for it or its just too much. Not as many deeper meanings or intelligence behind it as i’d hoped.

ok

The Reader was a little nasally. I got used to it. Book was ok. Thanks.

Storyline is interesting but a little bizarre

The story started off interesting but it gets a little bizarre on some of its twists I was not expecting. Without giving up the story just imagine driving down a 2 mile stretch of t land that turns out to be Gods body. Hey what could go wrong in this story? Well , a lot of strange sacrilegious things that were a little cringy. I was slightly disappointed in the ending as I thought it could have gone further with chaos and the human behavior. But it was a decent listen.

Popeye's Lament

I first read Blameless in Abandon first a few years back, and I recently was curious on getting the full series. and it delivered.
This is right up there with the book 'Lamb' as a comedic interpretation on Gospel/Christan Faith. Makes you think on the universe beyond life, death, and their meanings while making fiction seem believable with plausible/realistic views.
I'm looking forward to this series and I recommend it as well.

Note: If you listen closely in the last minute of the story, it sounds like the audiobook reader got a text message alert tone on his phone. 🤣
I don't know if that was an error in recording the audio or if it was like an Easter Egg to the reality of that it's just an audiobook recording. 😅
