Calvin Cohn, scientist and ex-rabbinical student, is the only human survivor of a nuclear holocaust. Being the protagonist of a novel by a Jewish, male, American, he naturally blames God for wiping out the rest of the human race, and has a big argument with Him about it. God finds a peculiarly apt and very nasty way to teach him a lesson. This satirical fable, Malamud's last completed novel, is very cleverly done, full of references to literature, philosophy, science, and - above all - the Old Testament. The bleak message seems to be that, however sophisticated and enlightened the civilization we build up for ourselves, selfishness and violence will smash it all up again. I'm not sure why he really needs a complicated structure of apocalypse, flood, and talking chimpanzees to demonstrate that, though. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
