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 Christs 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 Mailers most accessible, direct, and heartfelt work.Praise for The Gospel According to the SonQuietly penetrating . . .
