| adam_text | The Very Model of
Howard
Jacobson
In his dangerously brilliant new novel, Howard
Jacobson
takes on the daunting task of demyth-
ologizing Genesis, reenacting Exodus and reha¬
bilitating Cain, with dazzling results, narrated by
Cain, the first murderer and a breathtaKingly
elo-
quent storyteller, this darkly divine comedy alter¬
nates between Eden after the Fall and Babel, a
bustling, cosmopolitan center beyond the marshes
of fiod, east of Eden.
Cain is the romantic outsider, presenting his se¬
ductive argument to the population of Babel,
both thrilled and repelled by the dangerous celeb¬
rity in their midst. Using his considerable powers
of language, Cain, the eloquent one, the one who
names (and who must continue to give expres¬
sion to all he feels of love and hate long after he
has committed his crime}, fashions a compelling
justification of the first fratricide. Throughout
the novel, Cain argues with Abel, with rumor,
with Qod, and with the very idea of Creation itself,
wielding a lethal logic that is convincing and
provocative.
A miraculous novel about language, it also con¬
veys brilliantly the intensity of archetypal emo¬
tions: a capricious Qod is Jealous of Eve s dalliance
with one of Mis angels; Adam displays a sullen
envy over Eve s flirtation with trie Creator and
fashions triousarscis of rough effigies of himself to
show thsit lie, too, can create; arid
Caio
and Abel
embody t±*e exquisite, inevitable tension between
irreconcilable opposites. As he revisits Ecten and
toys with Christian dogma, Howard
Jacobson
at
tr*e same time
ctralłenges
literary orthodoxies
and!
—
most wondrous of
aîî-
—
entertains.
