Begging comparisons to Tolstoy and Joyce  this magnificent  sprawling cosmic epic (Guardian) by Alan Moorethe genre-defying  groundbreaking  hairy genius of our generation (NPR)takes its place among the most notable works of contemporary English literature. In decaying Northampton  eternity loiters between housing projects. Among saints  kings  prostitutes  and derelicts  a timeline unravels: second-century fiends wait in urine-scented stairwells  delinquent specters undermine a century with tunnels  and in upstairs parlors  laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts singing hymns of wealth and poverty. They celebrate the English language  challenge mortality post-Einstein  and insist upon their slum as Blakes eternal holy city in Moores apotheosis  a fourth-dimensional symphony (Entertainment Weekly). This brilliant . . . monumentally ambitious tale from the gutter is a massive literary achievement for our timeand maybe for all times simultaneously (Washington Post). 1 map; 3 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279509282869,"sku":"ByrdShop_1631494724","price":83.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781631494727.jpg?v=1780600973","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jerusalem-9781631494727","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
