The divine comedy - Craig Raine

Craig Raine's dazzlingly original second novel, The Divine Comedy is a gripping meditation on sex and death and God and the myriad ways in which the human body plays dirty tricks on us. The Divine Comedy is a fugue and a
black comedy. In delicious and bawdy detail, an unnamed narrator offers
snapshots into the lives and loves of an astonishing cast of philanderers and fuckups while along
the way, the evidence amasses for a comic, cosmic
conspiracy. Craig Raine's second novel, The Divine Comedy,
is a voyeuristic meditation on sex and insecurity, God and the nature of the human body - its
capacity for pleasure and pain, its desires, disappointments, and its many
mortifying betrayals.
