In 1992 a 400-page book of poetry was the number one seller in Ireland. This is a shorter version, with some damning new revelations from the eternal scapegoat and outcast. ""One of the most ambitious literary enterprises of the last century, 'The Book of Judas' is Kennelly's prolonged meditation on the theme of betrayal. ... Kennelly's controversial masterpiece should not be missed, in small or grand form, for there is nothing little about it.""-Booklist

From Booklist:

*Starred Review* One of the most ambitious literary enterprises of the last century, The Book of Judas (1992) is Kennelly's prolonged meditation on the theme of betrayal. Engaging in every form of trickery from adultery to politics to poetry, Kennelly's Judas reveals himself as the ultimate coyote mage, the complementary trickster every savior needs and demands. The original Judas, a best-seller in Kennelly's native Ireland (where Mia Farrow, in Dublin for a film shoot and already familiar with Judas in his film-director guise, was photographed reading it), is a huge book of some 400 pages and more than 500 poems. This smaller version, just over half that length, includes several dozen Judas poems written since the first book's publication. It plumbs as deeply into its sorry subject. Characters enter and exit, some named--the devious charming Flanagan, a beer-splattered Brendan Behan, stone-mad Ozzie, to say nothing of Peter and the Twelve Apostlettes--and others appearing just as voices in the dark night of the soul. Kennelly's controversial masterpiece should not be missed, in small or grand form, for there is nothing little about it. Patricia Monaghan
