Or perhaps he's the Demiurge.Lucky Jim is a novel by Kingsley Amis, first published in 1954 by Victor Gollancz. Scortchi ( talk) 21:32, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Reply His rather repellant character is keeping with Amis's misotheism. Death, as suggested by the transiently skeletal hand, is one of His 'aspects', He explains. Later the identity of the young man is confirmed as God the Father ('I don't mean go & listen to the posturing idiot Sonnenschein making me out to be a sort of suburban Mao-Tse-tung.') & God the Son ('Is it you? I mean the.' 'Oh yes. Amis doesn't immediately make this clear to the reader, but Maurice just knows hence the conversation turns to omnipotence ('You make the rules don't you?'), omniscience ('Surely you know? Whether I will or not?'), & the problem of evil (' I think how hard you can be on people who couldn't possibly have done anything to offend you.'). Since the identity of the 'suave young man' is nowhere explicitly nor implicitly linked to a specific persona, the possible identities of the 'suave young man' should be addressed in the article, as the identification of the 'suave young man' as God is a reflection of the article's author's opinion. Understood by whom? It was my personal (and strong) 'understanding' that the 'suave young man' was Death, not God as the article states. He finds himself in the presence of a young, suave man who it comes to be understood is God himself. This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
