«En directo del Gólgota, o El Evangelio según Gore Vidal» is Gore Vidal's satirical novel, published by Anaya & Mario Muchnik in paperback.
The work places Saint Timothy in the first century, caught between the intrigues of Jews and Christians, in a picaresque atmosphere. At the same time, a hacker from the future manipulates History to replace the message of Jesus Christ with a more extravagant one, and only Timothy, beyond the intruder's reach, can prevent the manipulation from succeeding.
Translation by Richard Charles Guggenheimer; originally published in English as Live from Golgotha (1992).
It will appeal to readers of satire, science fiction and historical fiction, as well as to followers of Gore Vidal.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
