Summary:
Rejoice! A fresh messiah has arrive, and her name is Julie. Delivered to Murray Katz, the solitary (and celibate) keeper of the abandoned lighthouse on the Shirt shoreline, our protagonist gets there on the planet boasting supernatural abilities evocative of her divine half-brother, Jesus. As a child, she revels in her talent for walking on drinking water, resurrecting useless crabs, and dealing with fireflies as luminous alphabet blocks. But after she gets to adolescence, her lifestyle becomes as complicated and ambiguous as any mortal’s. Not merely can be Julie Katz obliged to deal with a silver-tongued devil and self-righteous neo-Christian zealots, she must figure out what type of objective her mother-the feminine Supreme Being-has in mind for her. At once outrageous and affirming, this Nebula Prize finalist is an impressive work of contemporary satire that retains a mirror up to human being character, astutely reflecting our varieties’ failings, foibles, and frequently misguided affections.
