Waar gaat het over?

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE What sort of "person" is God? What is his "life story"? Is it possible to approach him not as an object of religious reverence, but as the protagonist of the world's greatest bookas a character who possesses all the depths, contradictions, and abiguities of a Hamlet?
