This book is a satirical novel that follows the adventures of a blonde flapper named Lorelei Lee, who uses her looks and charm to climb the social ladder. Lorelei, originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, is a materialistic and somewhat naive woman, who values men for their wealth and status. The story, presented as Lorelei's diary, humorously explores themes of gender, class, and the American pursuit of wealth and status in the early 20th century.

In this satirical fantasy novel, the death of God has left a two-mile-long corpse floating in the Atlantic Ocean, presenting a unique challenge for the disgraced captain of an oil tanker who is tasked with the bizarre mission of towing the divine body to its final resting place in the Arctic. Along the way, the crew must navigate a series of moral and existential dilemmas, as well as confront various fanatics and opportunists who have their own designs on the deceased deity. The novel explores themes of faith, responsibility, and the nature of belief in a world where the ultimate symbol of divinity is now a tangible, decaying entity.
