Used Book – God Is a Mate of Mine, Cyril Massarotto

A hilarious, sensitive, and insightful debut novel. The hero in a nutshell: he's thirty, pretty nice, and his best friend is... God. Very useful, especially when you meet the woman of your life, and she's a Sorbonne student while you're... a sex shop salesman!

The narrator, in his early thirties, meets God. Or rather, God summons him. He doesn't ask him for anything; he just wants to chat with him, like any friendship beginning.

The life of this unnamed narrator is now punctuated by these initially fortuitous, then regular, encounters every Tuesday evening. The young man, who works in a sex shop, meets Alice, a brilliant and studious psychology student. With a few (discreet) helping hands from his best friend, the young man seduces Alice.

But the story is far from over...
