The Gospel Of Loki by Joanne Harris
A witty, irreverent first-person retelling of Norse myth narrated by the trickster god as a confessional memoir: he traces his uneasy childhood among the Aesir, his tangled friendships and rivalries with figures like Odin and Thor, his shape-shifting escapades and forbidden loves, and the series of misadventures and betrayals that leave him scapegoated and blamed for the cataclysmic end of the world. With sly humour and sympathetic insight, the narrative reframes familiar legends, probing the slipperiness of truth, the power of storytelling, and who gets to write history.
