Book description
I just finished listening to Michael Moorcock's Nebula-winning "Behold the Man," and I can't help but feel like I've just stepped out of a cinematic dream into a bustling, sun-burnt marketplace in 29 A.D. The voice that carries the story over the sound waves is crisp, almost theatrical, and it pulls you in from the first sentence, like a gentle but insistent tug on a rope that you can't quite resist pulling.
The narrative opens with Karl Glogauer-a disenchanted, late-thirties professional caught in a web of half-hearted relationships, a dead-end office job, and a personal crisis that feels as heavy as a stone in your pocket. As I heard him wrestle with his father's ordinary Christianity and his mother's veiled Judaism, I felt the tension building, the kind of tension that presses on your ribs and makes you ache for something beyond the grind of everyday life. Moorcock paints Karl's world with such vivid textures: the stale scent of office coffee, the metallic tang of office building walls, the quiet hum of fluorescent lights. It's like you can taste the stale air and feel the weight of Karl's disillusionment as it settles around you.
When Karl meets the reclusive physics professor, the air shifts. A whisper of electricity crackles between them, and the world tilts. The narrator's voice deepens, as if he is stepping into a new realm of possibility. The professor offers Karl a chance to confront his obsession and to embark on a journey that feels like a leap across a chasm. The sound of the clock ticking in the background amplifies the urgency, the ticking being a metronome of time itself.
Then comes the time-travel. I was swept off my feet by the way Moorcock describes the arrival in Palestine. The desert is hot, the sand glistening like glass under the relentless sun. The narrator's voice carries the subtle rustle of a shawl, the distant shout of a call to prayer. I could almost feel the grit of the sand between my fingers, hear the murmur of people moving like the waves in a restless sea, and see the flicker of the sun over the hills. The soundscape transports you to a world that is simultaneously ancient and alive with its own current of humanity.
When Karl discovers that Jesus Christ is not the man history and faith would have you believe, the narrative deepens into a philosophical wilderness. The narrator's tone shifts again, becoming reflective, almost reverent, as he guides us through the intricate tapestry of faith, doubt, and sacrifice. The sound of a single church bell tolls, reverberating through the desert air. It feels like the echo of a thousand voices, each one searching for meaning, each one seeking redemption.
The climax is a dramatic crescendo. Karl's decision, his willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice, is rendered with a force that hits the spine. The sound design here is subtle yet powerful-soft wind, distant waves, the gentle rustle of palm fronds. The narrator's voice steadies, almost solemn, as he delivers the lines that carry the weight of a lifetime.
Listening to "Behold the Man" is like walking through a living museum: each turn of the page (or word, in this case) reveals a new chamber of thought, a new emotion, a new revelation. Moorcock's narrative is not just a story; it is a journey that feels as if it were etched into the very stones of the ancient landscapes it describes. The audiobook's production quality-rich soundscapes, clear narration, and seamless pacing-enhances the experience, making it a must-listen for anyone who loves stories that blur the line between science fiction and profound spiritual exploration.
