Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Bob Haberfield (illustrator). 1970 Edition. © 1969: 1st in the 'Karl Glogauer' series of books. 3rd printing of 1970 edition. Unrecognised ISBN 0583117873 printed on cover. Winner of the USA's coveted Nebula Award:- Synopsis: Karl Glogauer, obsessed with the bright silver crucifix that dangles round the little girl's neck, tortured by his growing sexuality and the overwhelming mystic power of religion. Karl Glogauer loves with Eva, innocent and beautiful, but he is too destructive. He loves with a troop of middle-aged women, but they are just a training ground. He loves with Monica, but she is explosive, she stings like a scorpion. He loves. He tries to love. He tries. The story of Glogauer's crisis of identity weaves between modern London and ancient Palestine, between Glogauer's erotic hunt for personality and Christ's journey to the cross. This is perhaps the most controversial portrait of Christ ever painted:- Review(s): "Portnoy or Glogauer, the complaint's the same" - Evening Standard / "Here is a strange story. Here is a real inventiveness" - Manchester Evening News:- (original cost £0.50). Seller Inventory # 23.072.00001
