Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Norman Mailer fused fact and fiction to create indelible portraits of such figures as Marilyn Monroe, Gary Gilmore, and Lee Harvey Oswald. In The Gospel According to the Son, Mailer reimagines, as no other modern author has, the key character of Western history. Here is Jesus Christ's story in his own words: the discovery of his divinity and the painful, powerful journey to accepting and expressing it, as if I were a man enclosing another man within.

Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book.--Chicago Tribune Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream.--The Cincinnati Post From the Hardcover edition.…
