Miracle Workers: A Novel
Autor Simon Richen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 2019
God
decides
to
close
up
shop
on
Earth--unless
two
idealistic
angels
can
make
a
miracle
happen.
When God decides to retire (to pursue his lifelong dream of opening an Asian Fusion restaurant), he also decides to destroy Earth. His employees take the news in stride, except for Craig and Eliza, two underpaid angels in the lowly Department of Miracles. Unlike their boss, Craig and Eliza love their jobs - uncapping city fire hydrants on hot days, revealing lost keys in snow banks - and they refuse to accept that earth is going under.
The angels manage to strike a deal with their boss. He'll call off his Armageddon, if they can solve their toughest miracle yet: getting the two most socially awkward humans on the planet to fall in love. With doomsday fast approaching, and the humans ignoring every chance for happiness thrown their way, Craig and Eliza must move heaven and earth to rescue them - and the rest of us, too.

Recenzii
"Divinely
funny."
—Vanity
Fair"As unpredictable as it is funny, and one of the best American comic novels of the past few years... A near-perfect work of humor writing--strikingly original, edgy but compassionate, and most importantly, deeply hilarious."—Michael Schaub,NPR
"Hilarious and touching...Rich is crazy good at hysterical sharp dialogue. But the bonus here is that his head is matched by his heart. Rich lends the potentially gimmicky story real emotional heft and avoids condescending to his characters (or readers)."—Entertainment Weekly
"His imagined situations read like sketches he might have conceived at his old job as a writer forSaturday Night Live... Rich knows how to balance the smart with the funny."—New York Times Book Review
"One of the funniest books you'll read this year."—Publishers Weekly
"Sweetly funny and even moving; love, in this case, is what makes the world keep spinning."—Boston Globe
"A divine satire"—The Guardian
"Simon Rich [is] one of the funniest writers in America... Rich evokes enough of the hellish qualities of Earth (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Walmart, a screenplay forFinnegans Wake) and of the little things that we'll miss (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Walmart, a screenplay forFinnegans Wake) that it feels like a little love letter to the world. Thanks, life. Good of you to let me drop by."—Daily Beast
