1. J.B.
A Play in Verse
In this modern retelling of the biblical story of Job, a wealthy and devout man faces a series of devastating trials that test his faith and understanding of justice. Set against the backdrop of a circus tent, the narrative unfolds as a dramatic dialogue between the protagonist and two circus performers who assume the roles of God and Satan. Through poetic language and profound philosophical inquiry, the story explores themes of suffering, divine will, and the human quest for meaning amidst inexplicable adversity.
