I, Lucifer

In I, Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness experiences humanity through the troubled life of a writer, leading to unexpected revelations about good and evil.

In I, Lucifer, the narrative unfolds with a unique premise: Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, is given a final opportunity to redeem himself. He must experience human life, a challenge that he approaches with skepticism and a hint of mischief. This time, the deal is set for a summer holiday in a human body, allowing him to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh while navigating the complexities of human existence. The chosen vessel is Declan Gunn, a troubled writer on the brink of ending his life, providing an unexpected twist to Lucifer's trial.

As Lucifer inhabits Declan's body, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, using writing as his medium to share his perspective. His goal is to strip away the layers of biblical narrative that have long defined him and to present a more humanized version of his story. Through this process, he aims to challenge the established narratives surrounding good and evil, and even confront Jesus himself. The exploration of the senses becomes a central theme, as Lucifer grapples with the joys and pains of human life.

Glen Duncan's I, Lucifer is not just a tale of temptation and redemption; it is a profound exploration of what it means to be human. The story delves into the seductive nature of evil and the enduring affection that connects us all. As Lucifer navigates the trials of humanity, readers are invited to reflect on their own experiences and the complexities of existence.
