Faith, desire, and a world in crisis

Arthur Zinn writes spiritual texts, but his own beliefs are unsettled by two intertwined pressures: his love for a librarian married to a close friend, and an environmental disaster that puts her life at risk. His prayers lead to a mysterious event that challenges his assumptions about God and the universe. The novel brings questions of faith and mortality into contact with ecological upheaval, while also examining the complications of desire, friendship, and the work of making art.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction about faith, doubt, and spiritual questions.
  • Readers drawn to novels that connect environmental crisis with intimate relationships.
  • Readers interested in stories about desire and the complications of friendship.

Book overview

From the award-winning author of Denial comes a novel about a New Age writer whose life is irrevocably changed when a devastating climate disaster forces him to confront his belief in the existence of God.

What if God spoke to you? Would you hear Him? Would you obey His command?

Arthur Zinn, an author of high-end spiritual texts, has fallen in love with a librarian married to a newfound close friend. When an environmental disaster threatens her life, Arthur's frantic prayers lead to a mystifying event that challenges his assumptions about the nature of the universe and the divine. In God and Sex, Oregon Book Award winner and acclaimed screenwriter Jon Raymond masterfully entwines themes of ecology, mortality, art, faith, and the tangled complexities of carnal love.
