In Crace's account, Jesus travels to a cluster of arid caves where he crosses paths with a small group of exiles who are on a pilgrimage to find redemption. One wealthy and manipulative quarantiner recognizes characteristics in Christ that he believes are divine. Evoking the strangeness and beauty of the desert landscape, Crace provocatively interprets one of our most important stories.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Crace\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eContinent\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Gift of Stones\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArcadia\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSignals of Distress\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeing Dead, \u003c\/i\u003eand most recently \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Larder. \u003c\/i\u003eHe has won the Whitbread First Novel Prize, the E.
