Críticas
"Beard's take on Lazarus is nothing less than astonishing--and he respects the reader by taking religion and religious questions seriously."--- Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"Funny, smart, scary, sad-- and above all, completely convincing. Maybe not the way it was, but the way it must have been." --Ben Loory, author of "Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day"
"A fascinating mixture of fiction and academic essay...using biblical sources and other, less orthodox ones, Beard weaves a compelling tale portrait of first-century Israel, of Jerusalem with its factions and sects, and of Jesus, Lazarus's enigmatic friend, as he makes his journey towards the Cross"--- Catholic Herald
""Lazarus is Dead" is a thrilling meta-novel. Richard Beard informs, provokes and always entertains." --Maria Semple, author of "Where'd You Go, Bernadette"

Reseña del editor
Like most successful men in their early thirties, Lazarus has plans that don't involve dying. He is busy organizing his sisters, his business, and his women. Life is mostly good until far away in Galilee, without warning, his childhhod best friend Jesus turns water into wine. Immediatley, Lazarus falls ill. And with each subsequent miracle his health deteriorates: a nasty cough develops into an alarming array of afflictions unresponsive to the usual remedies. His sisters think Jesus can help, but the two men haven't spoken for years. Lazarus is willing to try anything to make himself well, anything, that is, except ask Jesus for help.
Lazarus dies. Jesus weeps. Lazarus rises. This part we all know. But Lazarus is about to discover that returning from the dead isn't easy at all.
An ingeniously funny and moving novel that disguises itself as biography, Lazarus Is Dead recounts the story of a great friendship lost and regained. Richard Beard's brand of storytelling unabashedly turns convention on its head as he draws on biblical sources, historical detail, art and contemporary literature to throw a spell over his readers that remains unbroken until the final pages of this astonishing story about second chances.
