Description

Description

Damascus by Christos Tsiolkas is a novel that explores the themes of class, religion, masculinity, patriarchy, colonisation, and refugees through the lens of the gospels and letters of St Paul. Set in a world one and two generations after the death of Christ, the book delves into the ways nations, societies, communities, families, and individuals are united and divided.

The author's preoccupations with these issues are woven throughout the narrative, making for a vivid and visceral portrayal of contemporary and urgent questions that have always been perennial concerns. This thought-provoking novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships and societal divisions.
