«The Black Girl In Search Of God And Some Lesser Tales» is the collection of satirical stories by George Bernard Shaw (paperback).
A young Black woman, newly converted to Christianity, sets off on a literal search for God. Along the way she encounters various religious figures who try to convert her to their creeds. Shaw constructs an ironic allegory about faith and dogmatism, and adds several lesser tales that reinforce his critical outlook.
The title story comes from «The Adventures of the Black Girl in her Search for God»; this is the Hesperides Press edition, published in 2006.
For readers of classic satire, ironic humour, and stories with a philosophical and religious background, and for those interested in George Bernard Shaw.
George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and was awarded the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature.
