Gods Behaving Badly
Marie PhillipsBeing a Greek god is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London townhouse - and none too happy about it.
"Witty and entertaining, Gods Behaving Badly is an auspicious debut that outrageously libels the classical pantheon." - James Urquhart, Financial Times
And they've had to get day jobs: Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator, Dionysus as a DJ. even more disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees - a favourite pastime of Apollo's - is sapping their vital reserves of strength. Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives but for the survival of humankind.
Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed - but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?
"It's like Hesiod's Theogony meets MTV’s Real World. (..) As it traces Neil and Alice’s sweet and predictable little love plot, Phillips’s novel sometimes threatens to descend as well, into something like bathos. But for the most part her nonchalant transposition of the ancients into post-postmodern life is seamless, amusing and blessedly unpretentious. It may not be ambrosia, but it’s some pretty good trail mix." - Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times Book Review
