Kincaid The Book of Gud Produced by Louise Davies, Roger Taft, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Book of Gud" by Dan Spain and Harold Hersey is a novel written in the early 20th century. This whimsical and philosophical tale follows the titular character, Gud, a god of questionable existence as he navigates the peculiarities of life after having destroyed the universe. Theater of ideas unfolds as Gud attempts to grapple with identity and purpose in a post-eternal landscape and engages with various characters, symbolizing deeper concepts of creation and morality. At the start of the narrative, we meet Harold Hersey, a writer who gets lost in the Catskills and encounters Dan Spain, an enigmatic hermit living alone who claims to be working on an autobiography of God. Their conversation soon turns philosophical, touching upon themes of truth, science, and religion, as Gud's desire to create anew is explored in the reflections shared between Hersey and Spain. Their stimulating exchange leads to the creation of a manuscript that captures Gud's adventures and the nature of divinity in contemporary terms, setting the stage for a blend of satire, philosophical inquiry, and whimsical storytelling that unfolds throughout the rest of the novel.
