Skewering urban culture even as it conjures up the magic in the mundane, the stories of "The Divinity Gene" map the frailty of the human heart. Caught in the crosshairs of faith and science, its characters-bereaved, sidelined, cast adrift-journey forth to undiscovered places, in search of something to believe in, someone to love, always with disarming results. A passionately devout scientist clones Jesus Christ from the DNA contained in holy relics; a man makes a Faustian cyber deal with the devil for the sake of his family; bereaved parents sign on for an unorthodox government reparations project following a school tragedy.
Masterfully original, deeply human, "The Divinity Gene" introduces a bold and evocative new writer.
