Book Review: Petty God by Kaur Kender

Petty God is by far one of the most abstract books that I have read. With strong extended metaphors derived from the Bible this books offers a much more modern read of this ancient text. Separately the characters and situations described, even though extraordinarily written, are not outstanding; combined, however, all the stories tie up to an excellent piece of philosophical literature. In my opinion, even though the book itself is not strictly philosophical, a more careful read of it might be an eye-opener, as it encompasses so many different aspects of one’s life. Being written by Estonian writer Kaur Kender the book offers a fresh perspective on life and all the little bits and pieces that influence us daily, exploring both the psychological and the external factors that can change our lives.
