In The Gospel of Loki by Joanne Harris, Loki narrates the novel.
The 2014 novel retells major Norse myths in the first person, presenting Loki as an unreliable and self-justifying storyteller. He describes his arrival in Asgard, his dealings with Odin and Thor, and the conflicts that eventually lead toward Ragnarök.
This narrative choice distinguishes the book from medieval mythological sources. The Poetic Edda and Prose Edda preserve stories about Loki, but neither is a first-person novel narrated by him. Harris uses the traditional episodes as the framework for a modern literary interpretation.
Readers sometimes confuse the narrator with Odin because Odin is the chief god and has a major role in the story. Thor is also prominent, but the book’s voice and viewpoint belong to Loki. The title deliberately echoes a religious gospel while signaling that this is Loki’s version of events.
