Norman Mailer fused fact and fiction to create indelible portraits of such figures as Marilyn Monroe, Gary Gilmore, and Lee Harvey Oswald. In <i>The Gospel According to the Son, </i>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. <b>Praise for <i>The Gospel According to the Son</i></b> <i> </i> “Quietly penetrating . . . [Norman Mailer’s] gospel is written in a direct, rather relaxed English that yet has an eerie, neo-Biblical dignity.”<b>—John Updike, <i>The New Yorker</i></b> “A book of considerable intellectual force . . . The writer’s powerful mind works in a specialized way, not by theological argumentation but by telling or retelling a story.”<b>—<i>The New York Review of Books</i></b> <i> </i> “Challenges readers on the religious right and the atheist left with equally rich interpretive tasks.”<b>—<i>The Dallas Morning News</i></b> “An informed and believable work of fiction . . . of what may have been going through the mind of Jesus during his epic ministry.”<b>—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b> <b> <i> </i> </b> <b>Praise for Norman Mailer</b> <b> </b> “[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation.”<b>—<i>The New York Times</i></b> “A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent.”<b>—<i>The New Yorker</i></b> “Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure.”<b>—<i>The Washington Post</i></b> “A devastatingly alive and original creative mind.”<b>—<i>Life</i></b> “Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance.”<b>—<i>The New York Review of Books</i></b> “The largest mind and imagination [in modern] American literature . . . Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book.”<b>—<i>Chicago Tribune</i></b> “Mailer is a master of his craft.
