About This Item
New York: Random House, 1997. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Mailer's vision of Jesus of the New Testament told by Jesus himself, showing us the son of God who is wholly unlike other men yet still struggling with passion and doubt, a divinity sharing our human condition; boards and text are clean, tight, square; the dustjacket shows only very minimal surface and edgewear. Collectable.
Synopsis
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.” In its brevity and piercing simplicity, it may be Mailer’s most accessible, direct, and heartfelt work.
