Summary
The World's Smallest Bible chronicles the seriocomic boyhood of Ethan and Jeremiah Mueller in Mill Town, Pennsylvania, during the height of World War II. As they lose friends and neighbors to the front lines, the boys try to make sense of the mounting darkness with their imaginations - except in their world, no one ever dies.
In a private, laconic language, they invent stories that mirror the irrational world around them: A chaplain with bad news becomes the Angel of Death, skeletal Nazis lurk around the corner, and the ghost of a dead playmate taps at their bedroom window in the night.
With startling lyricism and narrative grace, Dennis Must has fashioned an indelible vision of the Mueller boys' blighted youth.
