Berlin, Germany. Opening night.  Klaus Kinski, Germany’s most controversial actor, steps into the spotlight to a crowd of thousands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter years of making movies abroad, he has returned to the stage for a much-publicized one-man performance about Jesus Christ. As the crowd turn on him and violence is threatened, it is also very nearly his last. After this week, he will never perform on stage again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExactly fifty years later, a hypochondriac writer, housebound by winter snowstorms, becomes  fixated with video footage of Kinski at his most manic.  In this forensic analysis, he strays into the darker corners of modern culture, and finally begins to understand the compulsive urge that drives artists to the edge of sanity in their pursuit of perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJesus Christ Kinski is a novel about a film about a performance about Jesus. It is a daring act of literary ventriloquism, a meditation on censorship, creativity, loneliness – and just how far our tolerance is tested by bad people who make great art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57611822793077,"sku":"9781037210464","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781037210464.jpg?v=1790501205","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9781037210464","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
