Mailer's take on God is completely solipsistic and totally enthralling. I found it thought-provoking. It is the brainchild of Michael Lennon, however, who seems often to completely miss Mailer's point. That's interesting in itself, but begs the question of what the book might have been if it had been completely Mailer's own concoction. He is such a novelist, and Lennon is such a by-the-books academic theologist, it is funny to read two such different minds collide again and again so unyieldingly. There are moments when Mailer is clearly so fed up with Lennon's lack of imagination, and Lennon too gets frustrated by Mailer's free-form ignorance. Fun.
