Recensione:
"An irresistible masterwork...Doctorow has fashioned a magically imaginative, unpredictable novel that is lushly rooted in moral philosophy and history...a careening, rollicking delight." --The Baltimore Sun
"Dazzling...heartbreaking, and superb...Doctorow's most ambitious and personal work." --The Miami Herald
"A deeply personal book...an ambitious postmodern riff with a grander perspective on the universe...a novel that sets its sights on God and the galaxies that shadow the heavens...a stunning vision of metaphysics and faith, cosmology and spiritual emptiness, the rational mind and messianic longing...sparkles with Doctorow's rich language and ideas." --The Wall Street Journal
"Dazzling...enthralling and suspenseful." --Time magazine
"A great, bubbling, mewling, eloquent, despairing, joyous, agonized, earnest, desperate, and God-hungry work...brilliant." --Mirabella
"Doctorow is unequaled in his ability to breathe life into inert images and fading monuments of the past...{he} illuminates the thorny paradoxes of modern society with felicity and brio." --The New York Times Book Review
"The greatest American novel of the past 50 years...Reading City of God restores one's faith in literature." --Houston Chronicle
"Blooms with a humor and humanity...monumental." --The Los Angeles Times
