More About This Book

Overview

Gary Gray marries his first girlfriend, a fellow student from Central Florida Christian College who loves Disney World as much as he does. They are nineteen, God-fearing, and eager to start a family, but a week before their wedding Gary goes into a rest-stop bathroom and lets something happen. God Says No is his testimony - the story of a young black Christian struggling with desire and belief, with his love for his wife and his appetite for other men, told in a singular, emotional voice. Driven by desperation and religious visions, the path that Gary Gray takes - from revival meetings to out life in Atlanta to a pray-away-the-gay ministry in Memphis, Tennessee - gives a riveting picture of how a life like his can be lived, and how it can't.

“A tender, funny tour of a mind struggling to do the right thing. A
revelatory and sympathetic guide to a misunderstood world.”

--Steve Martin, author of "Shopgirl" and "Born Standing Up"

"James Hannaham's GOD SAYS NO introduces a groundbreaking new American
voice: a writer of spectacular sentences who has trained his sights on a
world that has hardly been touched by literary fiction. Topical and
ambitious, disturbing and hilarious, GOD SAYS NO is everything a person
could ask of a first novel — and twice that much. "

--Jennifer Egan, author of "Look at Me" and "The Keep"


"This novel is an absolute original. Gary Gray's search for wholeness and
acceptance is a heartfelt (and often very funny) plea for all men (and
women) to be embraced just as they are. A wonderful debut."

--Martha Southgate, author of "Third Girl From The Left"


“GOD SAYS NO is a book that was desperate to be written but well out of
reach. And then James Hannaham came along and wrote it, with the kind of
care, wit, sympathy and fury that the book deserved. Imagine Candide…—
okay, imagine Candide as a black man, a southerner, a Christian
fundamentalist, middle-class, obese, married, a father, and utterly, even
profoundly gay.
If a comedy, in the classical sense, is a story then ends in a
marriage, and a tragedy is a story that ends with a death, then what do you
call a book that ends with a split and a resurrection? A truly daring first
novel, and something to read.”

--Jim Lewis, author of "Why the Tree Loves the Ax"

    NOT YOUR ORDINARY COMING OUT STORY!

    This was a wonderful debut novel, so lucky to have stumbled across it. This book served as an insightful look into how religion, family, insecurity and denial can be a major set back in life. I couldn't put this book down; it is a must read. It will be enjoyed by all.

    Not enjoyable

    Did NOT enjoy this book. Many grammatical and spelling errors, which made it very difficult to read. Then, there's the story itself. I could not believe the main character was so naive! Nobody I know is that uninformed. Also, the "Pray Away the Gay" religious counseling is well-known to be fraudulent, so why is much of this book about it? Finally, I question the ethics of a man who knows he's gay but gets married anyway just because that's what his society does. Shameful!
