But, to be fair, what else would you expect from the Devil’s autobiography? It was a fun way to pass a few hours, although for reasons I’ll explain I don’t feel any pressing desire to buy a copy to keep.Įver since their Fall from Heaven, Lucifer and his fellow rebel angels have been carefully getting on with the task of instigating evil and distracting the thoughts of humanity from God. Mind you, it won’t be for everyone: if you’re easily offended, I would steer clear (even though, in fact, the book is necessarily grounded in a very traditional vision of Catholicism).įor those willing to dip a toe in, it reads like a particularly hedonistic mashup of Dogma and Good Omens, laced with blasphemy, vulgarity and all manner of debauchery. I’m not familiar with Glen Duncan’s other books, but this one has caught my eye several times over the years – the concept tickled my sense of humour – and it seemed to be the perfect book for a languid, hot summer afternoon when I didn’t have the energy to tackle anything too demanding. He studied philosophy and literature at Lancaster University – London, England, United Kingdom – GLEN DUNCAN is a British author born in 1965 in Bolton, Lancashire, England to an Anglo-Indian family. ![]()
