註釋The prize-winning author “entices lucky readers with a dissenting, potentially heretical, refreshingly fascinating interpretation” of Jesus’s life (Shelf Awareness).

The Francophone Belgian author Amélie Nothomb has won high praise for her provocative and philosophical novels, including Fear and Trembling, which won the prestigious Prix du Roman. Now Nothomb presents a highly original reexamination of an all-too-familiar story.

In a first-person voice as wry as it is wise, Nothomb narrates Jesus’s final days, from his trial to his crucifixion to the resurrection. Amid asides about his relationships with his mother and Judas, his love for Mary Magdalene, and his many miracles, we find a man struggling with his humanity and his exceptional nature, straddling the line between human and deity, the son of a formless, omnipotent creator in the fallible form of a man.
