The blurb is kind of spoilery, so all you need to know is that this book is about someone time traveling to see Jesus while his time there is paralleled with pieces of his earlier life that showcase his relationship to religion and his self-esteem issues. The design of the time mashine is very original and makes me want to read more of Moorcocks books just for his futuristic ideas. The book itself focuses more on Glogauer's psychology and moments that had shaped him, which makes it uncomfortable to read at points but very fascinating nonetheless. Everything comes full circle at the end but still leaves the reader with much to think about. Being written at the end of the 60s, it has a lot of weirdly sexual scenes in it, but in the context of the book it made sense for them to be unerotic and tense and I think it added to the story in a way that cannot be said for every book or movie from the time. All in all, a very effective read. Absolutely not for everyone, but if you like the explorations of the human mind from that time period, you will very much appreciate this.
