Un día en la vida de Dios

A capricious feminine god, an official of a corporation dedicated to administering universes, creates the Earth, invents man and offers him death as a vital stimulus. But something is wrong. To understand that failure, to discover the world she has created, She will have to incarnate in different characters throughout history: a Theban fighter in Egypt, a slave of Abraham in Palestine, a spy in Rome, Voltaire's confessor and several more until he became Otto Morgenstern, a German-Jewish scientist who participated in the construction of the atomic bomb. The result of this reenactment of Creation is a hilarious narrative, a story in episodes linked by a divine and extraordinary female. A day in the life of God is a pop novel, a microphysics of power in an ironic key, a cosmogonic text, capable of starting a long and surprising laugh. Polyphonic, playful and political, the novel puts the traditional historical narrative in check and exhibits with a great sense of humor the origin of language and the world. Its triple heritage -theology, history and science fiction-, its sexual ambiguity and its break with the great totalizing narratives make A Day in the Life of God an unusual text: a new way of thinking about the romance of men with their gods.
