In this retelling of one of the great biblical stories, King
Solomon commissions Ethan the Scribe to write the official history
of King David. In return for the finest cooking in the land and the
wages of a minor prophet, Ethan must write a proper record, full of
glory and battles, statecraft and honor -- a tribute to David and
to Solomon, his heir. But as Ethan explores further, he finds
another life hidden behind the iron curtain dividing past from
present: the story of a David who seduced, lied, bragged, and
plundered his way to power. Which life should he write in the The
King David Report? Written by one of Germany's most acclaimed
dissident authors, The King David Report is both a masterly
analysis of the writer's obligations to truth, and an astute satire
on the workings of history and politics in a totalitarian state.
