Morrow, James The Wine of Violence
New York Holt, Rinehart and Winston (c.1981) 0-03-059051-5 / 9780030590511 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good dj Illustrated by (dj) Les Edwards
[nice tight copy, clean except for "August, 1984" in ink on ffep, top corners lightly bumped; jacket shows some wear at top corners, small tears and associated wrinkling at top of spine]. The author's first novel, an "utterly modern S-F fable of corrupted innocence." It's set in a utopian world called Quetzalia, which "is no ordinary or simple utopia. On one side of its split society, behind the most curious of fortress walls, lives a culture free of machine technology, with its moral and religious precepts based upon the mystical and more pacifistic practices of ancient tribal Mexico. On the other side, over the planet's wasteland plains, roams a people of abysmal savagery known as Neurovores ('brain-eaters')." Thing are going along pretty well on Quetzalia -- the two sides being kept separated by a "river of liquified hate" -- until the Earthlings show up and set in motion a "marvelously antic saga, with plots within plots played out against a wickedly funny and wholly ingenious portrait of an aberrational paradise."

Morrow, James Towing Jehovah
New York Harcourt Brace & Company (c.1994) 0-15-190919-9 / 9780151909193 First Edition Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dj Illustrated by (dj) Simon Ng
[tight/unread book, NO remainder or other marks; jacket shows just a bit of surface wear]. The premise of this novel is that "God, for unknown reasons, has died" -- and the book's protagonist, Anthony Van Horne, is charged with captaining a supertanker "as it tows the two-mile-long divine corpse through the Atlantic -- northward, toward the Arctic, in order to preserve Him from sharks and decomposition." Per the jacket blurb: "As [the author] rings his wild, Vonnegutian changes on male chauvinism, female chauvinism, oil companies, Darwin, junk food, World War II buffs, the Catholic Church, joyless rationalism, and Cecil B. DeMille, [he] also manages to include some of the beauty and sorrow of the world."
