"I see God," wrote Norman Mailer, "as a Creator, as the greatest artist. I see human beings as His most developed artworks." In these moving, amusing, and probing dialogues conducted in the years before his death, Mailer establishes his own system of belief, rejecting both organized religion and atheism. He avows that sensual pleasures were bestowed on us by God; he finds fault with the Ten Commandments; and he holds that technology was the Devil's most brilliant creation. In short, Mailer is original and unpredictable in this inspiring journey, in which "God needs us as much as we need God." Praise for "On God"" " " Norman Mailer's] theology is not theoretical to him.

Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book."--"Chicago Tribune" "Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream."--"The Cincinnati Post" "From the Hardcover edition."… (plus d'informations)
