"Highly entertaining " Roberto De Feo, director of Ice Scream.
Disillusioned by the indifference of the crumple-faced girl he
adores and by the dismal decline of his beloved Everton,
10-year-old Michael McBride is increasingly sceptical about the
credentials of the God that his terrifying schoolteachers and
Catholic fundamentalist grandmother would have him pray to night
and day and even on the toilet. Meanwhile, as the millennium draws
to a close, the Creator himself is feeling the effects of age: his
remote control is on the blink, he is drinking more than he should
and, to the alarm of those around him, he has taken to plagiarising
Shakespeare. Through the eyes of his fading but furious Maker, this
irreverent three-part novel follows Michael from his childhood in
the Merseyside of the 1970s, through the wild sexual escapades of
his adolescence, to a final unholy showdown amid the olive groves
of Puglia.
