God Behind the Screen
«
"Here is a well-written, insightful and deeply engaging analysis of what interests readers most: the quest for human destiny. Whether we are reading novels, poetry or books on psychology, philosophy or spirituality, the overarching project is to figure out who we are, as individuals and a species. In The God Behind the Screen we find a rich and multidisciplinary analysis to help us on our way. I found this book impossible to put down." -- Dana Sawyer, The Maine College of Art
