First printing, a trade paperback, issued simultaneously with a hardcover. Posthumous publication of the last novel of this iconclastic writer, who continues to defy classification. "Revealing the intimate details of his sudden elevation to Godhood, this shockingly mischievous satire follows one of America's most intellectually-radical science fiction authors as he takes on the most coveted and misunderstood position in the universe. Wearying of the world's religious schisms, doctrinal heresies, and manifold sins, Thomas M. Disch has taken it upon himself to embrace divine authority, unless his outlandish enemies emerging from the depths of a dissatisfying hell manage to prevent him. Revealing the hidden conspiracies that link the author with Philip K. Dick, Mel Gibson, Santa, L. Ron Hubbard, and eternity itself, this darkly comedic polemic holds nothing sacred and is as controversial as it is incontrovertible." 180 pp Fine (a new copy) in glossy illustrated wrappers (promotiional postcard with a photograph of Disch laid in.
