The Gospel According to the Son
Mailer, Norman
Book Number: 65837
ISBN: 0679457836
Publisher: Random House, New York, 1997.
8vo. hardcover. Very good. / Very good d/w. 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 Christâ€™s story in his own words: the discovery of his divinity and the painful, powerful journey to accepting and expressing it, â€œas if I were a man enclosing another man within.â€ In its brevity and piercing simplicity, it may be Mailerâ€™s most accessible, direct, and heartfelt work.

Small 8vo hardcover 120pp illus. Very good / Very good+ d/w with slightly faded spine. Readers familiar with the epic sweep of Louis de Bernières' previous novels, and especially his phenomenally successful Captain Corelli's Mandolin, might be shocked by this small volume of (literally) shaggy dog stories. But those who have enjoyed the humour of those same novels will appreciate this sleeker, slimline de Bernières.nnIn 1998, de Bernières visited the mining towns of Western Australia and stumbled across a bronze statue of Red Dog (1971-1979) outside Dampier. Inspired by this legendary canine, he made another visit, collecting the stories of his life and gently fictionalising them. We follow Red Dog, the itinerant, resourceful, if flatulent hero (
