"...When Paul Auster and NPR's Weekend All Things Considered introduced the National Story Project, the response was overwhelming. Not only was the monthly show a critical success but the volume of submissions was astounding. Letters, e-mails, and faxes poured in on a daily basis -- more than four thousand of them by the time the project celebrated its first birthday. Everyone, it seemed, had a story to tell.
'I Thought My Father Was God' gathers 180 of these personal, true-life accounts in a single, powerful volume. They come from people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Half of the contributors are men; half are women. They live in cities, suburbs, and rural areas, and they come from forty-two different states. Most of the stories are short, vivid bits of narrative, combining the ordinary and the extraordinary; most describe a single incident in the writer's life.
Hilarious blunders, wrenching coincidences, brushes with death, miraculous encounters, improbable ironies, premonitions, sorrows, pains, dreams -- this singular collection encompasses an extraordinary range of settings, time periods, and subjects. A testament to the important role story-telling plays in all our lives, 'I Thought My Father Was God' offers a rare glimpse into the American soul..."
