Riassunto

"Astonishing... dazzling." The New Yorker "Boisterous, wonderfully disturbing.. mixes religion, sex, science fiction, and black comedy with considerable skill... rolling at a furious pace... funny, with the kind of great rolling belly-laughs that S. J Perlman used to get, and frequently moving." - The New York Times Book Review "Leven's great cosmic/comic novel... well beyond Garp or Rabbit . Wonderfully funny, wonderfully melodramatic, wonderfully emotional fiction. Just enjoy... enjoy... enjoy." - Los Angeles Times Book Review "Extraordinary... Dazzling in its originality, fiercely ambitious in what it sets out to tell us about the beleaguered human race and its dreams of God and the devil... Nothing is sacred here and the result is a stunning catharsis of the kind of contemporary fiction seldom offers." - Publishers Weekly"Leven joins company with Pynchon, Updike, Styron, Roth, Heller and Gaddis, but is uniquely his own. Formidable!" - Le MondeAlas, poor Satan. He’s not happy. No one seems to like or understand him; people have got him all wrong. And his relationship with God is a hostile one. Unloved and misunderstood, he’s come back to Earth in search of a psychotherapist; he’s prepared— if cured— to deliver the all-important Great Answer. In Jeremy Leven’s wildly original comic novel, we follow the Prince of Darkness through his seven amazing therapy sessions. And we watch him grow increasingly well adjusted while his therapist, the unfortunate Dr. Kassler, descends deeper and deeper into hell.
