«Cité de Dieu» is the novel by E. L. Doctorow, published in 2003 by Éditions de l'Olivier in paperback (349 pages, in French).
A writer investigates the disappearance of a cross from a church that reappears on the roof of a New York synagogue. The trail leads to Reverend Thomas Pemberton and some young rabbis, with echoes of Einstein, Wittgenstein or Sinatra. The novel turns New York into a chorus of voices and questions whether God is conceivable at the end of the twentieth century.
Novel translated from English by Jean-Pierre Carasso and Jacqueline Huet; its original title is City of God.
Intended for readers of literary and philosophical fiction who appreciate the urban portrait of New York and questions about faith.
