Does the Haiti earthquake prove that there is no god?

No, I read virtually none of his post-carotid-surgery fiction.

I afraid you lost me completely here. Maybe I do not know him well enough, I only read two of his books, Job being one on them.

Ah, I read it as a literary opinion - but it was literal ;-) I did not know he had had an operation, and that that changed his writing. Interesting.

Ah. Yes. I was indeed being literal. I enjoyed his earlier work far more than that which he produced afterwards. In part, because, for good or ill, I like my protagonists to be clearly male or female. Gender bending and bi-curious heroes and heroines... I don't find them engaging my imagination so I lose interest in their struggle and the book becomes tedious.

I'm not phobic about it mind you... just not curious enough to continue suspending my disbelief (as one must often do with science-fiction.)

Now... back to the topic of God.
