The Childhood of Jesus by J.M. Coetzee
3.0
An enigmatic story told mostly through dialogue about the boy David and his godfather Simon. The narrative hints at the title as being allegorical. There are mysterious events happening, the boy lisas things that don't make sense. And throughout the book, actual sayings of Jesus are sprinkled like I Am the Truth.
While the writing is excellent, and the narrative flows well and is interesting, I wanted a little but more explanation. Overall, good but only if you're willing to be a little underwhelmed and confused at the end.
