This absorbing detective story is interspersed with concert reviews, true crime, film criticism, biographical sketches and a healthy chunk of Sylvester's text detailing the aftermath of an interstellar war and the building of a gigantic tower from living stone.
Him is a powerful piece of historical fiction, recreating ordinary life in first-century Judea with vivid immediacy; but it is also a science fiction novel about the multiverse, alienness and the possibilities of reality.
