On the selection of E.L. Doctorow's 'City of God' - Ryan

Well we are on to our third book, E.L. Doctorow's 'City of God.'  This novel takes place in contemporary New York City - a detective story of sorts - about an Episcopal priest from the lower east side who teams up with a female rabbi from upper west side to uncover a mystery surrounding the desecration of the church's cross.  Written in a broken style from the perspective of the priest, it twists and turns in a most unique fashion, while telling the story of a God and man in the modern era.  It is ambitious and involved, albeit a challenging read, though I have it on good information that the reward is worth it.  We'll begin posting shortly.  Enjoy!
