Summary/Abstract: The present article seeks to analyze the way in which the blasphemous figure of God in Dolce agonia by Nancy Huston let the author describe the sacred element in man’s life, seen as deprived of transcendental character. This is possible thanks to three text’s aspects conditioned by the God’s figure, which are: the contrast between passages marked by the cynical God’s voice and passages focused on man’s life filled with suffering ; the tone and time approach variations and, finally, the double character of God who, at the same time, is indifferent to man’s lot while touched by his capacity of love.
