Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In the thirteenth year of the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, my master opened his veins with a steel razor during his midday bath, while he was resting at his house near Tusculum outside the city walls."
Industry Reviews
"...[T]he novel is well written, absorbing, and short."
New York Times Book Review - Colleen McCullough (07/14/1996)
"...[A] really stupendous work of imagination and sophistication."
Boston Sunday Globe - Katherine A. Powers (06/16/1996)
"'The Gospel of Corax' won't appeal to all readers. Some may find his portrait of Jesus offensive. But readers interested in a challenge will find the novel a provocative and intriguing look at a long-vanished world."
Washington Post Book World - Martin Morse Wooster (10/13/1996)
"A comfortable cruise for the armchair traveler through the Ancient World."
Franck
"The novel is continuously interesting both for the lively action and for the historical detail, from from political conditions to the names of surgical tools, with which Mr. Park supports his provocative tale."
Powers
