«I, Lucifer» is the contemporary fiction novel by Glen Duncan, published by Gardners Books in paperback (272 pages, in English).
The Prince of Darkness is given one last chance: if he agrees to live a human life, he will be readmitted among the angels. Sceptical, he negotiates a trial period and settles into the body of Declan Gunn, a depressed writer he interrupts mid-suicide. From that new flesh, Lucifer starts writing to tell his version of the story and dismantle the biblical narrative, while discovering, amid distractions and earthly pleasures, what it means to be human.
English edition published in 2002.
Recommended for readers of ironic and speculative fiction who enjoy heterodox takes on Judeo-Christian mythology.
