Open for interpretation...a living Testament.,
This review is from: Testament VOL 03: Babel (Paperback)
This latest installment of Douglas Rushkoff's Testament is as engaging and compelling as the first two. The collection has three Bible stories woven into one modern narrative. In the Job story that opens, Rushkoff plays with time-space a little more, and The Rape of Dinah story is a little more loosely materialized, but both are very interesting and imaginative works of fiction. The four part story of Babel is profound in many ways.
My intent is not to spoil any of the story, because as the other two compilations have shown, even though you might know the Bible, don't think you know what happens next in Testament. This surreal and interesting interpretation of the Bible-as-modern has re-enlivened my interest in this most wonderful ancient text. (And I am not a Christian.) Kudos to Rushkoff for this amazing piece of storytelling, and kudos to him for being brave enough to weave other ancient gods and traditions into the simulation that is our lives. (Joseph Campbell would be proud.) This series has become one of my favorite comics, and better yet, one of my favorite works of contemporary fiction in a very short time. |
