The Gospel According to Judas

"AN ADMIRABLY CONSTRUCTED WORK" – O GLOBO Involving religion, mystery, and sexuality, Silvio Fiorani's novel "The Gospel According to Judas" narrates the intimate world of Francisco, a young writer obsessed with writing a novel to redeem the biblical figure of Judas Iscariot, whom he believes was not a traitor. At the same time, the emotional relationship between Francisco and his cousin Adriana develops. Over both of them hovers the figure of Raul, Francisco's childhood friend, who influences their fates. The relationships between these three characters will lead to an unexpected outcome. • "In the elaborate weave, the intertwining of the threads traps the reader in a thought-provoking labyrinth. With "The Gospel According to Judas," Sílvio Fiorani consolidates his place in modern Brazilian fiction." – Anna Maria Martins, Jornal da Tarde. • “The narrator creates the writer who seeks to write about Judas, and then discovers himself between memory and the various narrative planes, in one of the most important novels of the decade.” – Julieta de Godoy Ladeira, DO Leitura, São Paulo.
