Overview

Kim Godal's fiction emerges as a sustained inquiry into how sacred texts are read, repurposed, and weaponized within social life. The novels show that religious passages do not carry a single, self evident meaning. Instead, they become tools whose force depends on who cites them, why they are cited, and the social conditions that give those citations weight. Godal traces a wide spectrum of uses: scripture as a warrant for violence and exclusion, scripture as a resource for private consolation or fatalism, and scripture as raw material for satire and parody. Taken together, these uses reveal a cultural ecology in which words deemed holy can justify harm, offer solace, or be turned into instruments of critique.
