Description
“God Knows” is a novel written by Joseph Heller, the acclaimed author best known for his satirical masterpiece “Catch-22.” “God Knows” was published in 1984 and presents a modern, irreverent take on the biblical story of King David.
In this humorous and contemporary reinterpretation, Joseph Heller portrays King David as a deeply flawed yet endearing character. The novel is presented in the form of a monologue by King David addressing God directly. David reflects on his life, his triumphs, his moral failings, and his relationships with his family, including his many wives and children.
Heller’s “God Knows” blends humor, satire, and biblical allusions to explore themes such as faith, mortality, and the human condition. The novel is known for its wit, irreverence, and clever wordplay. While it may not have achieved the same level of recognition as “Catch-22,” it has been appreciated for its unique take on religious and literary themes.
In “God Knows,” Joseph Heller continues his tradition of using humor to dissect and comment on human nature, morality, and the absurdities of life.
