The Gospel According to the Son: A Novel
Norman Mailer
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.
Praise for The Gospel According to the Son

?An informed and believable work of fiction . . . of what may have been going through the mind of Jesus during his epic ministry.??San Francisco Chronicle
