I, JUDAS : A Novel by James Reich, Book Trailer

BOOK TRAILER FOR 'I, JUDAS : A NOVEL' BY JAMES REICH

Music by Venus Bogardus (www.venusbogardus.com)

FROM THE JACKET: "Judas Iscariot is the historical symbol of betrayal. But what really happened at the Garden of Gethsemane? What compelled Judas to hang himself from a tree? Surreal and provocative, and featuring a cast of displaced characters from Bob Dylan to Norman Mailer and JFK, 'I, Judas' explores Judas's orchestration of the elaborate con of the divinity of Jesus Christ, subverting the legend of Judas as he inhabits some of our most notorious literary and historic figures in their darkest hours. Custer, Sexton, Van Gogh: These famous suicides converge through the figure of Judas in a cutting-edge piece of fiction that exposes the dangers of seeking universal truths in myth."
