The Lawgiver
The Washington Post
…Wouk fulfills the dream of a novel he conceived ages ago, and in doing so reveals himself to be as serious as anyone in his choice of both subject (the Bible) and style (postmodern collage). Fortunately for his readers, he wields a computer with a touch as light as a quill pen…Clearly, The Lawgiver has unleashed Wouk's inner metafictionalist as well as a parodist of considerable virtue, which is to say viciousness…this book about a movie about a book is also about the very act of writing books. Wouk reminds us of the eternal value of storytelling while he shows 30- and 50- and 80-year-old whippersnappers how it's done.
