Joseph HellerVezi magazinul LibrisThis zany, sexy version of the story of King David, told as a modern allegory of what it is like for a Jew to survive in a hostile world, is original, sad, wildly funny, and filled with roaring.
Heller's King David, a splendid creation, is not so much a man for all seasons as man in all his seasons (The New York Times Book Review).
Joseph Heller's powerful, wonderfully funny, deeply moving novel is the story of David -- yes, King David -- but as you've never seen him before.
You already know David as the legendary warrior king of Israel, husband of Bathsheba, and father of Solomon; now meet David as he really was: the cocky Jewish kid, the plagiarized poet, and the Jewish father.
Listen as David tells his own story, a story both relentlessly ancient and surprisingly modern, about growing up and growing old, about men and women, and about man and God.
It is quintessential Heller.
