J.M. Coetzee’s Jesus Sees the World as Don Quixote Does, Judith Shulevitz , single work review
— Review of The Death of Jesus J. M. Coetzee , 2019 single work novel ;

'Before Jesus became the man-god of Christianity, he was a brat. Or so say the Infancy Gospels, gnostic folk tales popular in their day but left out of the Scriptures for obvious reasons. The stories feature a boy Jesus too immature to control his supernatural powers. He kills friends who anger him, then revives them. Teachers who mistake his wisdom for impudence are made to fall down in a faint. His parents don’t know what to do with him.' (Introduction)
