Review:
"Pinsky's prose is penetrating and intelligent, full of insight into David as both icon and human being."
David L. Ulin, Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.), 09/18/2005
Review:"...Pinsky's characterological insights are unfailingly interesting, his literary arguments invariably astute. Corners of the David myth light up with the glow of his imagination....Most important, Pinsky achieves his stated goal of making David more accessible without making him cease to be alien, as any figure from so remote a culture must always remain. [I]t is this kind of creative engagement that makes the Bible itself live and endure."
William Deresiewicz, New York Times Book Review, 10/23/2005

The Life of David (ISBN: 9780805242034) Pinsky, Robert Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Schocken. 1 Cloth(s), 2005. hard. Book Condition: New. "Think of David, and youthful images spring to mind. There is the boy with the slingshot, forever captured by Michelangelo, ready to take on the giant Goliath. There is the handsome king, in our Hollywood memory played by the young Gregory Peck, who seduces the fetching Bathsheba. But, as Robert Pinsky reminds us in his enriching The Life of David, the drama of David's life is not limited to his youth but extends throughout his 70 years: the upstart lad, the ambitious warrior, the capricious adulterer, the vengeful king, the conniving politician, the suffering father and finally the pathetic old man. In crafting his own take on a complex hero, Pinsky demonstrates a love for legend but little patience for apologetics. He makes it clear that he is looking for the real David—or as close as we can get to someone who lived nearly 3,000 years ago."—Washington Post 209.
