Bernard Malamud's "God's Grace" is a post-apocalyptic novel that reimagines the biblical flood in a modern context. It follows Calvin Cohn, a Jewish paleontologist, who miraculously survives a thermonuclear war by being deep underwater. Emerging as the sole human survivor, Cohn finds himself on an island with a talking chimpanzee named Buz, a product of scientific experimentation. As other primates appear, Cohn attempts to civilize them and establish a new, moral society, grappling with themes of faith, human nature, and the possibility of redemption for a fallen world. Malamud's final novel is a darkly humorous yet poignant exploration of humanity's inherent flaws and the enduring quest for meaning and connection in the face of ultimate devastation.
