Shortlisted for the 2011 Frank O'Connor Short Story Award , the world's richest short story prize "Trafford's alchemical mixing of research, fable, pathos, and plot yields impressive results."- Rain Taxi "I love Mathew J. Trafford's imagination! In his world, scientists clone Jesus Christ, fishermen haul mermaids from the sea, and bartenders sprout angel wings. The Divinity Gene is a fantastical ride and a fantastic read ." - Neil Smith, author of Bang Crunch "In these unique and wildly imaginative stories, Matthew J. Trafford pairs crisp diction with unpredictable plots: you think you're going to arrive on the third floor, but the elevator takes you to another floor altogether, and it turns out to be a thoroughly enjoyable ride… a must for readers looking for something fresh amid a sea of stale books."— Quill and Quire, In Trafford's hands, the short story mutates into a creature I have never met before. This new creature has the gene for angelic. It has the gene for devilish. It has the gene for lifting you up to a great height and pointing out the absurdity and danger below. You will not want to put this creature down. A wicked and wonderful debut., Shortlisted for the 2011 Frank O'Connor Short Story Award , the world's richest short story prize "I love Mathew J.

Synopsis
Recipient of the Honour of Distinction for the Dayne Ogilvie award, and long-listed for the Frank O'Connor Short Story Prize, the largest prize for a book of short stories worldwide, The Divinity Gene, is a beguiling and bizarre collection of stories from a remarkable new voice in Canadian fiction. A mob of teens descends upon Paris in the thrall of a self-help author; a grotesque yard-sale statuette frees a dying man from his silence; the hottest club in town is staffed by angels. This is the uncanny world of The Divinity Gene, Matthew J. Trafford's debut story collection, and it bristles with humour, pathos and imaginative power. 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 the 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., A mob of teens descends upon Paris in the thrall of a self-help author; a grotesque yard-sale statuette frees a dying man from his silence; the hottest club in town is staffed by angels.

- t***7 (586)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThis seller is a professional, starts with a great product, prices fairly, responds to messages asap, ships out the next day in protective packaging, and arrives exactly as described! I wish he had more from this author so I could buy again!
- -***- (146)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe seller did a great job shipping these books. They were securerly packaged and shipped Fed Ex - which I greatly appreciate! They are probably better than described; they look as if they've never been read. And the price was very reasonable - the best I found for this set. I would buy from this seller again.

The book was wrapped in clear wrap and had cardboard wrapped around it to protect the book. I would buy from this seller again.Oops!
