One often speaks of the hand of God. One forgets that his foot is more

terrifying. Where he puts it, no grass will ever grow.

Le Pied de Dieu is a reading and a rewriting of the sacred text where Pierre

Léon recreates the God he knew from a Catholic upbringing. He relates the Bible

to us, sometimes in good humor and sometimes in bad! God, who is always serious

and often wrathful, is unwittingly also very funny in his commandments, his

injunctions, his sexism, his sexual and other obsessions.

In this irreverent text where parody is mixed with truth, and which is based

on abundant quotations from the Old and the New Testament, Pierre Léon sketches

the striking portrait of a God whom Bible school and sacred history had carefully

concealed from us.
