Meer over het boek
As Roger Lambert tells it, he, a divinity school professor, is visited in his office one day by Dale Kohler, a young computer hacker who believes that scientific evidence of God’s existence is irresistibly accumulating. The discussions they have, and the strategies that the professor, a follower of Karl Barth, employs to disembarrass Dale of his faith form the substance of John Updike’s twelfth novel. Roger’s petite, discontented wife, Esther, and Verna Ekelof, the runaway daughter of his Cleveland half-sister, complicate the issues as they ramify in an unnamed Northeastern city, with its sprawling university, its polluted dark river, its many various neighborhoods, its skyscrapers and slums. The novel takes place around the time of Ronald Reagan’s second election.
