God Knows by Joseph Heller, published by the Franklin Library, is a darkly comedic and satirical retelling of the biblical story of King David. Narrated from David’s perspective in his old age, the novel blends historical and religious elements with Heller’s signature wit and absurdity. David reflects on his life—his triumphs, failures, relationships, and his complex, often contentious connection with God—with a modern, irreverent tone. The book critiques themes of power, faith, and mortality while reimagining biblical figures in a sharply humorous light. The Franklin Library edition is a finely bound collector’s volume, known for its high-quality craftsmanship and elegant design.
