'Arditti is a master storyteller who uses his theological literacy
sparingly to deliver a challenging but enthralling read' Guardian
Award-winning, bestselling author Michael Arditti's tenth novel,
documenting the history of homophobia and religion. God's vengeance
on the wicked city of Sodom is a perennial source of fascination
and horror. Michael Arditti's passionate and enthralling new novel
explores the enduring power of the myth in five momentous epochs. A
young Judean exile transcribes the Acts of Abraham and Lot in
ancient Babylon; the Guild of Salters presents a mystery play of
Lot's Wife in medieval York; Botticelli paints the Destruction of
Sodom for a court in Renaissance Florence; a bereaved rector
searches for the Cities of the Plain in nineteenth century
Palestine; a closeted gay movie star portrays Lot in a
controversial biblical epic in 1980s Hollywood. With its
interrelated narratives and interwoven documents, Of Men and Angels
is both formally inventive and imaginatively rich. Abounding in
characters as vivid as they are varied, from temple prostitutes and
palace eunuchs, through fanatical friars and humanist poets, to
Bedouin tribesmen, Russian exiles and, of course, angels, this is a
novel of breathtaking scope, penetrating insight and profound human
sympathy.
