God Knows
Condition remarks:
Condition: Very Good. Jacket: Worn/faded - no tears. Page Condition: Good. Markings: No visible markings. Binding: Tight and secure. Stickers/Labels: One small circular promotional sticker on the front board.
A darkly comic and irreverent novel, God Knows presents the life of the biblical King David as he looks back on his extraordinary existence — his triumphs, failures, loves, and betrayals — from his deathbed. Joseph Heller reimagines the Old Testament narrative with biting wit and anachronistic humour, allowing David to speak in a thoroughly modern voice as he wrestles with faith, mortality, and the capricious nature of the divine. The novel chronicles David's storied relationships — with Bathsheba, Jonathan, and the God who both favoured and tormented him — in a manner that is simultaneously laugh-out-loud funny and deeply melancholic. Heller illustrates that even a man after God's own heart is not immune to regret, lust, or the absurdities of existence, making this a masterwork of satirical historical fiction.
