A multilingual philosophical-satirical novel cycle about the Heavenly Chancellery, the human complaint against the Universe, and the error of searching that begins not in God, but in the very mode of address.

cases of the Heavenly Chancellery

  • God is “not found” not because He does not exist.God is not found because the human being searches for Him as an object, an address, an authority, a proof, a justification, or a support service.

    Error 404: God Not Found is a cycle of philosophical-satirical novels about people who try to find God, Truth, justice, meaning, or an answer, but search through the distorted form of their own fear, pain, profession, faith, knowledge, or self-deception.

    The Heavenly Chancellery here is not a place, not an institution, not an application, and not a fantasy bureaucracy. It is a state through which a person encounters their own request to God, life, fate, or Truth.

    Each book may reveal a separate “case” of the Heavenly Chancellery. The first book opens the door through Vlad, but Vlad is not the only applicant. There is a queue behind the door.
