I first came across this strange book in a library when I was a bookish schoolboy, in the seventies. The author is Brazilian. His book purports to be a series of interviews that the author had with an alien gentleman, who hails from one of the moons of Jupiter.
The conversations range widely—how spaceships work, the fate of planet earth, and much else.
The author tells us that as a result of the insights he received from his alien friend, he became a devout Christian. Which tells you what this book is really about—the author’s journey from scepticism to belief, cast parabolically in the form of a series of (fictional) interviews with an alien. If you read the book that way, it makes a mad kind of sense.
However you read it, it is delicious fun.
