Description:
1 v. (unpaged) ; 21 cm.
Summary:
"This series of short, fictional vignettes explores our day-to-day interactions with an ever-elusive and arbitrary
God
. It’s the Book of Common Prayer as seen through a looking glass--a powerfully vivid collection of seemingly random life moments. The figures that haunt these
stories
range from Kafka (talking to a fish) to the Aztecs, Tolstoy to Abraham and Sarah, O. J. Simpson to a pack of wolves. Most of Williams’s characters, however, are like the rest of us: anonymous strivers and bumblers who brush up against
God
in the least expected places or go searching for Him when He’s standing right there. The Lord shows up at a hot-dog-eating contest, a demolition derby, a formal gala, and a drugstore, where he’s in line to get a shingles vaccination. At turns comic and yearning, lyric and aphoristic, Ninety-Nine
Stories
of
God
serves as a pure distillation of one of our great artists."--From publisher.
