judas iscariot
since no one has written anything for andreyev i htought i would do a brief review of the 'judas iscariot and others' book. judas iscariot - a wonderfully realised short story that has a similar feel to the film last temptation of christ. very well written, almost poetic in places and with a good knowledge of the bible. its only about 100 pgs long so really a novella i guess. the 'others' are two other tales... the christians - a wierd story about a prostitute who in a law court won't take the oath on the bible. this story is not very good in truth although raises some intersting ideas about the nature of christianity. phantoms - set in a mental home and again not too good. some of the characters here though are quite compelling. this is all i have read of andreyev. i get the impression he is not well loved and i suspect it may be many moons before anyone reads this short review.
