Twenty years in the making, Alan Moore´s Jerusalem is a magnum opus of the legendary comic book writer´s career. Moore borrows from the realm of theoretical physics, taking the idea of time as the fourth dimension and using it as a platform for an epic literary work. Moore considers the stark ramifications of this idea on love, tragedy and morality in a work of historical fiction centred on his home town of Northampton, England. The book promises a kaleidoscope of literary forms and styles that range from brutal social realsim to extravagant children´s fantasy and from the modern stage drama to the extremes of science fiction. Featuring a dizzyingly rich cast of characters including the living, the dead, the celestial and the infernal, personages as diverse as Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Beckett, Buffalo Bill and Jame Joyce´s daughter rub shoulders with drunks, prostitutes, Biblical demons and local legends. Embracing meditations upon science, theology, history, literature, economics, class and metaphysics, this extraordinary narrative works towards a new assessment of the nature of space-time and the human position within it.
