Joseph Heller reimagines the Old Testament narrative with razor-sharp wit and irreverent humour, giving David a distinctly modern voice that is by turns boastful, anguished, and laugh-out-loud funny. The novel chronicles David's relationships with Bathsheba, his rivalry with Saul, his friendship with Jonathan, and his complicated bond with God — a deity he argues with as freely as any old acquaintance. Heller argues that greatness and failure are inextricably linked, delivering a meditation on mortality, legacy, and disappointment wrapped in some of the most spirited prose of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130764730587,"sku":"2026200010854-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/290f9c2b-38b1-43ef-a5dd-24065d1b20d4.png?v=1786589538","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010854-secondhand-god-knows","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
