Jesus Christ Kinski by Benjamin Myers
In 1971 Klaus Kinski gives a notorious one‑man performance about Jesus in Berlin that provokes a hostile crowd and nearly ends his stage career. Fifty years later, a reclusive, hypochondriac writer becomes obsessed with footage of that performance and, through a forensic rewatching, explores the fine line between artistic genius and self‑destruction. The novel interweaves performance, film and obsession to examine creativity, censorship, loneliness and the limits of public tolerance for troubling artists.
