Peasants’ Bible and the Story Of the Tiger, The by Dario Fo

This was an entertaining read. The book is essentially a collection of short stories, parodies of bible stories. The first story I enjoyed the most. It was a retelling of adam and eve, told from eve's perspective. The tone she sets is comical in a common sense kind of way. 

There is a part, when she has her period, when she turns to a goddess and she says that the goddess has to hide in a cave so that god doesn't see her and other deities like her. I found this to very symbolic of how though Christianity become the dominant religion, other, older forms of worship didn't completely disappear, they just went underground, so to speak, but still had an effect on the people. 

One of my many impulse purchases, but it was a great read.
