Product Information
Read by John Rubenstein Three cassettes, Approx. 5 hours In the autumn of 1999 the large brass cross behind the altar of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in lower Manhattan disappears and mysteriously reappears on the roof of the Synagogue for Evolutionary Judaism on the Upper West Side. The church's maverick rector and the young rabbinical couple who lead the synagogue set about attempting to learn about the vandals who have committed this strange double act of desecration. A writer, alerted to the story by a newspaper article, befriends the priest and the rabbis and finds that their own struggles with their respective traditions are relevant to the case. As the narrative broadens, more and more people are implicated in what may be the elusive prophesy of a new American culture. Daringly poised at the junction of the sacred and profane, the story opens into a multi-voiced narrative that finally incorporates the monumental historical events and predominating ideas of our age. Filled with the sights and sounds of New York, and with a cast of vividly drawn characters that includes scientists, war veterans, prelates, Holocaust survivors, cabinet members, theologians, New York Times reporters, film actors and crooners, this dazzling, inventive masterpiece emerges as the American novel of our time--a narrative of the 20th century written for the 21st.

Reviews
"E.L. Doctorow is an astonishing novelist--astonishing not only in the virtuosity with which he deploys his mimetic skills, but also in the fact that it is impossible to predict even roughly the shape, scope and tone of one of his novels from its predecessors."--Robert Tower, The New York Times Book Review "Doctorow is a master of atmosphere . . . He knows the art of storytelling inside and out."--Newsweek From the Hardcover edition., "E.L. Doctorow is an astonishing novelist--astonishing not only in the virtuosity with which he deploys his mimetic skills, but also in the fact that it is impossible to predict even roughly the shape, scope and tone of one of his novels from its predecessors."--Robert Tower, The New York Times Book Review "Doctorow is a master of atmosphere . . . He knows the art of storytelling inside and out."--Newsweek, "A grander perspective on the universe . . . a novel that sets its sights on God." -- The Wall Street Journal "Dazzling . . . The true miracle of City of God is the way its disparate parts fuse into a consistently enthralling and suspenseful whole." -- Time "Blooms with humor, and a humanity that carries triumphant as intelligent a novel as one might hope to find these days." -- Los Angeles Times "Radiates [with] panoramic ambition and spiritual incandescence." -- Chicago Tribune "One of the greatest American novels of the past fifty years . . . Reading City of God restores one's faith in literature." -- The Houston Chronicle From the Hardcover edition.
