The California desert. A four-year-old boy disappears in the wilderness and his parents find themselves at the centre of a media witch-hunt. A British rock star hides out at a run-down motel. A teenage Iraqi refugee lives a surreal life as a role- player in a military simulation.  The present is connected to the past. The earth is connected to the sky.

Behind them all is Coyote, the trickster, who subverts the laws of Gods and men.  A compulsively readable journey into the twists and turns of a handful of human lives, Gods Without Men is also a heartfelt exploration of our search for pattern and meaning in a random and chaotic universe.Ambitious, far-reaching and dizzying in scope, Gods Without Men is Hari Kunzru's most deeply engaging, compelling novel to date.  The brand new novel by the author of the bestselling The Impressionist.  Multi-layered and packed with ideas, Gods Without Men will appeal strongly to readers of Don DeLillo, Jonathan Franzen and DavidMitchell  ‘A beautifully written echo chamber of a novel’ David Mitchell  ‘Kunzru's engagingly wired prose and agile plotting sweep all before them’ New Yorker  ‘One of the most talented writers of his generation’ Image  ‘Kunzru's prose sashays across the page with all the fluid flamboyance of a dance’ The Times  2008.
