It’s The Hangover meets The Book of Revelation in one of the funniest bizarro fiction novels of the year. God, a single father, is forced to move back home with his parents. He really just wants to focus on writing his indie rock zine and escape the responsibility of being the Supreme Being, which can be a real drag. He's also got a mean older brother who never left home and never stopped tormenting God or humanity by interfering in events throughout history. Now, God finds out the bastard's built himself a time machine. As visions of an apocalyptic future come to God's attention, he devises a foolproof plan to stop his mean older brother from destroying the world... then gets so drunk he forgets what the plan is. "Whether he's scribbling on napkins, writing online, or penning fiction, G. Arthur Brown is interested in taking the world we think we know, cracking it open, slathering it with weirdness, and twisting it into odd shapes—which, surprisingly, resemble the world more accurately than the world we wish we had. Brown's a prime example of how the weird and the bizarre can provide an active and irreverent critique of the real. This is fiction that's fun to read and yet deeply resonant." – Brian Evenson, author of A Collapse of Horses
