God Metaphor

Read God Metaphor Storyline:

Carey turns his attention to religion, and spirituality and himself in this fascinating follow-up to Adjective Narcissism. 'The writing [is] engaging and the author's attention to detail [paints] a wonderful picture.' - onlinebookclub.orgThe thematic sequel to Adjective Narcissism, within God Metaphor Carey focuses his interest on religion, and the relationships between an author and a deity. The unnamed protagonist returns, recovering from Carey's attentions during the first narrative, and seeks absolution for the thoughts of a greater figure, a figure he rebels against but ultimately obeys; as though he ever had a choice. From a student flat high above Liverpool to a hospital ward, Carey's self-obsession makes a stunning return as weird and terrible and thought-provoking as ever. 'It is a book that is difficult to describe because the story itself does not move much, but the way it is written gives you a beautifully clear picture of how the author feels about his characters, about religion, and about life.' - onlinebookclub.org
