You want ambition? E.L. Doctorow s City of God starts off not merely with a bang but with the big bang itself, that "great expansive flowering, a silent flash into being in a second or two of the entire outrushing universe." It doesn t, to be sure, remain on this cosmic plane throughout. There s a mystery here, along with a romance, a chilling Holocaust narrative, and a deep-focus portrait of fin-de-sie Manhattan--not to mention cameo appearances by that Holy Trinity of contemporary mythmaking: Albert Einstein, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Frank Sinatra. But while the author of Ragtime and Billy Bathgate is no slacker when it comes to entertainment, he has more in mind this time around. Even the title, with its Augustinian overtones, tips us off to the author s preoccupation with belief, human consciousness, and "our wrecked romance with God."
