I read this book years ago, but still remember it because it was so good. It's the story of God's only begotten daughter. It's about faith more than religion. Worth reading.

A satire on religion - Jesus' sister is born to a bachelor Jew in New Jersey...
Winner of the World Fantasy Award & recipient of a rave NY Times review (reasons I bought it)- but I have to admit I really wasn't very into this one.... just not my thing, I think.

The opening chapter introduces Murray, an involuntary celibate and monthly sperm donor. He gets called back to his donor bank in question of his last deposit, it is found to have more than his sample, but an ovum too. Well you know what a doctor wants to do, put the thing under a micrscope and cut into it. Murray though, well he gets a different idea in his head.

This was an odd book. It was set in New Jersey, so I could realate to placement at least. No wonder they made a Weird NJ book!
