«Cloner le Christ ?» is the novel by Didier Van Cauwelaert published in paperback (199 pages, in French).
It starts from a great unknown: whether the blood of Jesus that permeates relics such as the Shroud of Turin, the Sudarium of Oviedo and the Tunic of Argenteuil is authentic and contains usable DNA. On that basis, the plot links the quest for the Holy Grail, genetic manipulation and cloning as a possible substitute for the Eucharist.
The novel was originally published in 2005; the French paperback edition dates from 2007.
Aimed at readers interested in the intersection between science and religion, and in the ethical and spiritual debates surrounding cloning.
Didier Van Cauwelaert is a French author and director of Belgian descent who was born in Nice. In 1994 his novel Un Aller simple won the Prix Goncourt.
