Readers who treasure philosophically dense fiction served with a helping of off-kilter humor find much to enjoy in the works of James Morrow. Although he began publishing in the 1980s, Morrow's career leveled up in the 1990s with the publication of the Godhead Trilogy, a series of conceptually complex novels, beginning with Towing Jehovah in 1994, that explored the theological and psychological ramifications of God's death and the subsequent tumble of His two-mile-long corpse into the ocean. Morrow's work, which includes postmodern historical fiction such as 2006's The Last Witchfinder, has earned him copious accolades, including multiple Nebula and World Fantasy awards.
