THERE IS NO DOG

What if the creator of the earth were a lazy, self-indulgent adolescent boy? He is still all-powerful, all-seeing, and all that, but he’s also feckless and horny, letting his reckless sex drive control him as he wreaks havoc on the planet. Steven Boyer narrates with a wonderfully wry tone that takes listeners into his confidence. His characterizations are thoroughly enjoyable; characters range from a petulant and whiny Creator to a proper British administrative assistant; a young, soft-spoken zookeeper; and a nasal, thick-voiced creature called an Eck (whose only vocalizations are also its name). Boyer keeps this short philosophical experiment on track while recounting all the wacky hi-jinks caused by an adolescent god. G.D. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2012]
