The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told
A General Fiction Novel by Paul Rudnick
Subgenres:
- LGBTQ+ Fiction,
- Humor,
- New York City
This book is for you if you're into...
- Irreverent retellings of Bible stories with queer twists
- Outrageous humor that skewers stereotypes and modern life
- Ensemble casts thrown into wild, unexpected situations
The first act recounts the "true" Biblical couple, Adam and Steve, their fall from grace because of Adam's curiosity, and eventually meeting another couple, Jane and Mabel. Together, they survive a hilarious recounting of the Great Flood, and an even more hilarious recounting of a rather effeminate Pharaoh refusing to let his "people" go because of his infatuation with the Moses/Brad character.
The second act plucks these people out of the Old Testament, and places them in modern day New York City, at a Christmas party thrown by Adam and Steve. The transition is seamless, due to Rudnick's ability to make it funny and believable.
Rudnick leaves no stereotype unturned, from gay Santas to go-go boy elves, to a Public Access wheelchair bound lesbian rabbi (I'm not kidding) who steals the act. I rarely laugh out loud when reading a book, but I had tears in my eyes reading the second act. Excellent comedic writing!
