Jesus Christ Kinski is extraordinary. It is an assault. It is an affront to decency. It is Klaus Kinski, right there on the page. It is hateful. And I loved reading it. It takes real daring to take on such a subject and real skill to carry it off with so much humanity. The talent of Benjamin Myers is something to behold.

Jesus Christ Kinski is a kaleidoscopic portrait of an unraveling mind. Unflinching, audacious and brutally beautiful, like nothing else you'll read this year

JAN CARSON

A record of Benjamin Myers' obsessive infatuation with a terrible man striving to embody a holy one, Jesus Christ Kinski is a vivid, singular, unexpected novel from a writer who always surprises and never disappoints

JOHN HIGGS

As wild and tempestuous and unapologetic as Klaus Kinski, Benjamin Myers's Jesus Christ Kinski is a rollercoaster character study of one of our most loved and hated cultural icons. Myers taps into the fire and fury in Kinski's art and soul, his workaholic, egocentric and testosterone-driven life, while reveals his vulnerabilities and artistic intransigence. This is a hair-raising performance written and directed by one of the most outrageously imaginative writers of our time

KIT FAN

Rabid with life-force and intrinsically confrontational, Jesus Christ Kinski brings us perilously close to the bars of the cage, the better to behold the monstrous enigma of a man both repellant and magnetic, unforgettable and unforgivable. Benjamin Myers' timely novel at once asks us how we are to reckon with society's brilliant-bad, and considers how each of us must accommodate the raging demons that threaten to devour us
