Of the seven days in which God created the world, I would stay with the one that our maker lay on the grass to contemplate the work. I suppose it would be a hangover Saturday or Sunday, I no longer remember. By here they will explain ...

But one thing is my personal tastes and quite another is all you know Martin Caparrós about God. You may know even more than Manuel Vilas that only talks to him. Because Martín has revealed the final mystery that Dan Brown always touched on in his novels. And it is that God is a woman and the rib is the best cover ...

Synopsis

A capricious feminine god, an official of a corporation dedicated to managing universes, creates the Earth, invents man and offers him death as a vital stimulus. But something is wrong. To understand that failure, to discover the world she has created, She will have to incarnate in different characters throughout history: a Theban fighter in Egypt, a slave of Abraham in Palestine, a spy in Rome, Voltaire's confessor and several more until he became Otto Morgenstern, a German-Jewish scientist who participated in the construction of the atomic bomb.

The result of this recreation of Creation is a hilarious narrative, a story in episodes linked by a divine and extraordinary female. A day in the life of God it is a pop novel, a microphysics of power in an ironic key, a cosmogonic text, capable of provoking a long and surprising laugh. Polyphonic, playful and political, the novel puts the traditional historical narrative in check and exhibits with a great sense of humor the origin of language and the world.

His triple inheritance (theology, history and science fiction), his sexual ambiguity and his break with the great totalizing narratives make A day in the life of God an unusual text: a new way of thinking about the romance of men with their gods.
