From the back: 
 "Coming off like a combination of Kurt Vonnegut, Lenny Bruce and a kindly old mensch, Morrow brings much-needed humor to the examination of religons and their purveyors." -- Des Moines Sunday Registter 
 "Morrow hilariously joins the ranks of the great satirists." -- the Denver Post 
 My remarks: 
 One of my favorite authors. Every time I reread one of his books, I find another layer. 
 Edit: I did an extensive interview with Mr. Morrow which is available at my website. Here's the introduction: 
 "Award-winning author James Morrow takes on the foibles and inconsistencies of Western religion with wit and vigor, holding up a mirror and asking, "How far will we go?" Booklist dubs him a "genius" and compares him to Twain, Heller, and Vonnegut, for bringing much needed humor to this too-serious subject. The Science Fiction/Fantasy community has honored him with two Nebulas (1989 short story "Bible Stories for Adults #17: The Deluge" and 1990 novella City of Truth) and a World Fantasy Award (1990 Only Begotten Daughter.) In this interview from his home in State College, Pennsylvania, Morrow discusses his debt to the SF/F community, scientific humanism, organized religion, the literary roots of his stories, and the difficulties of addressing the "big questions" in satire.
