Shambling Towards Hiroshima Shambling Towards Hiroshima by James Morrow
reviewed by Paul Kincaid
After the Second World War, the people of Japan had a national trauma to deal with the like of which none of the rest of us have ever had to experience. It wasn't the fact of defeat, or even the emphatic scale of it, that was at issue, it was the unprecedented nature and violence of the destruction wrought at Hiroshima and again at Nagasaki. One of the ways they found to deal with this trauma was to personalize the destruction in the monstrous character of Gojira or Godzilla.

Shambling Towards Hiroshima Shambling Towards Hiroshima by James Morrow

Remember those at-the-time underappreciated halcyon days between the fading of childhood and the onset of adulthood, when the only consequence of not rising before noon was to have missed a lecture on the poetry of Sir Phillip Sydney? We could stay up all night rapping with friends or roommates, altering our minds with wine or tequila or wacky-backy, and riffing on cool thought-nuggets like, "Whoa, dude, if God's dead, who's gonna dispose of the body?"

Only Begotten Daughter Only Begotten Daughter by James Morrow
reviewed by Martin Lewis
Every month Murray Katz supplements his income by donating to the local sperm bank. However, one month in 1974 something unusual happens. Murray's donation spontaneously becomes a cell cluster, a potential human. This can mean only one thing: immaculate conception. Murray's cell cluster is the daughter of God. He steals her and the ectogenesis machine that supports her and takes her back to his lighthouse on the Atlantic where he christens her Julie.

The Eternal Footman The Eternal Footman by James Morrow
reviewed by David Soyka
The author ponders the age old question of why God oft-times seems to be so uncaring. Some may not find the answer particularly comforting, and certainly there are those who will find it sacrilegious. But if you happen to share the author's view that what's really sacrilegious is a God who permits evil, you'll be moved to nod your head in agreement. Not to mention chuckling at the absurdity of it all.

Blameless in Abaddon Blameless in Abaddon by James Morrow
reviewed by Steven H Silver
Morrow's satirical writings convey the sense of an author who believes in some sort of divine creature (although not necessarily religious) and who is trying, through writing, to understand.
