Reviews
Staggeringly imaginative…bold readers who answer the call will be rewarded with unmatched writing that soars, chills, wallows, and ultimately describes a new cosmology. Challenges and all, Jerusalem ensures Moore's place as one of the great masters of the English language. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Synopsis
Ten years in the making, comes a literary work Like no other, from the legendary author of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell., In the half a square mile of decay and demolition that was England's Saxon capital, eternity is loitering between the firetrap housing projects. Embedded in the grubby amber of the district's narrative among its saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts a different kind of human time is happening, a soiled simultaneity that does not differentiate between the petrolcolored puddles and the fractured dreams of those who navigate them. Fiends last mentioned in the second-century Book of Tobit wait in urine-scented stairwells, the delinquent specters of unlucky children undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. An opulent mythology for those without a pot to piss in, through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts that sing of wealth and poverty; of Africa, and hymns, and our threadbare millennium. They discuss English as a visionary language from John Bunyan to James Joyce, hold forth on the illusion of mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon the meanest slum as Blake's eternal holy city. Fierce in its imagining and stupefying in its scope, Alan Moore's epic novel, Jerusalem , is the tale of Everything, told from a vanished gutter., An opulent mythology for those without a pot to piss in, through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts that sing of wealth and poverty; of Africa, and hymns, and our threadbare millennium.

- o***m (2763)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was damaged in transit since it was shipped in a thin poly mailer, but after reaching out to the seller, their response was fast and more than fair. The original description was accurate, the price was good, and my experience with their customer service after I reported the problem was flawless.
- h***h (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseTracking showed item was at 1 mail facility for 6 days. I contacted Goodwill of the Heartland after 11 days and a full refund was issued within hours. Item arrived that day. I asked for refund to be canceled. Goodwill mailed the item on the day after purchase. Service does not get any better than this.
- e***n (227)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping was amazingly fast and appreciated. The description said “It has very minimal damage to the cover, including scuff marks, or creasing but no holes or tears. The binding has minimal wear.” but came with open tears and holes along the binding. It is possible this happened in shipping because it came on a poly mailer and the book is heavy. The condition of the rest of the book was as described. I still highly recommend this seller!The Beekeeper's Bible: Bees, Honey, Recipes & Other Home Uses (#356947234473)
