Description

"Allen’s brief book’s energy lies within its modest irony, never more heavy handed than the usual preacher’s admonition that 'a world without mans is a world without us all.wi The basic story and connection between child and feminine guy, rounded out with laughter and unexpected (often literal) chunk, guarantees to be always a person favorite among risky audiences."--Writers Weekly“Allen,throws caution to the wind with his weird but exceptionally constructed myth that utilizes transhumanism whilst the prism to think about the character of mankind,It’s also intellectually curious and instead reducing in several of its conceptual and social checks. It’s a world where man isn't only dog, but additionally beef, where wars, faith and powers are just like backward because they are within our own world, and where planets collide with a temperamental worry that's as unpleasant because it is appealing. Similar to Pierre Boulle’s 1963 novel Planet of the Apes, this novel is just a parable about the future and character of the variety. A nimble fable whose striking story test is raised by its near-biblical vocabulary and loving grasp of our natural flaws.”--Kirkus Reviews"An imaginative and truthful epic, weaving together biblical reports, imagination, poetry, and fairy tales with a little realism…Allen requires us to question the assumptions, -isms, and contradictions of the current world…Recalling the humanitarian issues of Octavia Butler’s Fledgling and the poetry of Ovid’s Transformation, this guide may attract readers of literary fiction and fantasy."--Library Journal"Imaginative, flexible, and adventurous Allen (Jesus Child, 2010) raids the areas of myth and fairy tales in this topsy-turvy risky fable.
