Along the way she encounters a succession of deities and religious figures drawn from various traditions — from the wrathful God of the Old Testament to Voltaire's rationalism — each presented with Shaw's characteristic wit and savage irony. The narrative argues, with gleeful irreverence, that organised religion and its many contradictions are more a product of human imagination than divine truth. Illustrated with striking woodcut engravings by John Farleigh, this slim but audacious work remains one of Shaw's most provocative and entertaining pieces of short fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956461908187,"sku":"2026200008982-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cb26575c-73e9-4a34-a397-7fa120294edb.png?v=1783501231","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008982-secondhand-the-adventures-of-the-black-girl-in-her-search-for-god","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
