«La versión de Roger» is the novel by John Updike, published by Plaza Janés in paperback (284 pages, in Spanish).
In the novel, Roger Lambert, a university professor of theology, has his routine disrupted when Dale Kohler, a young computer scientist, assures him there is scientific evidence of God's existence. The debate between them drags Roger into a personal crisis in which his wife, Esther, and Verna Ekelof, his half-sister's daughter, play a decisive role.
The English original, «Roger's Version», was published in 1986; this Spanish edition is from 1988. Translated by José Ferrer.
For readers of literary fiction seeking a novel of ideas, with debate between faith and science and tense personal relationships.
