Anne Rice, penitent

| 1 Comment

Gothic novelist Anne Rice attempts a story about the most mysterious Person in history. Newsweek's David Gates writes:

Rice knows "Out of Egypt" and its projected sequels—three, she thinks—could alienate her following; as she writes in the afterword, "I was ready to do violence to my career." But she sees a continuity with her old books, whose compulsive, conscience-stricken evildoers reflect her long spiritual unease. "I mean, I was in despair." In that afterword she calls Christ "the ultimate supernatural hero ... the ultimate immortal of them all."

Dang, Richard, you beat me to blogging about this! I didn't know that Rice

I'm a little leery of her new book, though -- she isn't writing non-fiction, but using spurious works such as the Gospel of Thomas isn't a good sign. But maybe it's harmless.
