A review by tsentas
The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by José Saramago

4.0

This book will be forever connected in my head with the Christian preacher camped out at the NY 42nd street subway station at the tunnel between the A,C,E connection and the 7/1,2,3 - who during the morning commute would exhort subway riders with various phrases such as: "Don't re-ject Je-sus!... don't. reject. the lord Je-sus Christ" or "Je-sus Christ is the way. Je-sus Christ is love" (overly enunciating each word for added spiritual effect.) Every time I walked past him while holding this book I would smile and nod and wonder whether he too had also read and appreciated The Gospel According to Jesus Christ.
