Description

Live from Golgotha: The Gospel According to Gore Vidal is a unique and humorous take on the Sacred Story. In this 1993 novel, Timothy (later St. Timothy) is under pressure to record his version of events, as a cyberpunk has been destroying tapes that describe the Good News. Meanwhile, an NBC crew is racing into the past to capture the Crucifixion live for a TV special. As visitors from twentieth-century America arrive in the first-century Holy Land, Timothy struggles to complete his story amidst distractions and interruptions. The question remains: will he be able to finish his account without interference? This novel offers a fresh perspective on the events leading up to the Crucifixion, with a dash of satire and wit. With its blend of historical fiction, fantasy, and humor, Live from Golgotha is an entertaining read for fans of literary and humorous fiction.
