How Are the Mighty Fallen

This is a retelling of the David and Jonathan story as if they were lovers and with some fantasy thrown in. The question of the relationship between David and Jonathan has been a matter of speculation, that it was more than a bromance. Of course, it is very controversial. Published in 1974, it's a subtle romance, with more emphasis on the forces around them than in the details of the relationship. And it has a rather cold narration, not flowery or overly prosy, but it reads well. It has gods, goddesses, cyclopes (yes, that's the plural of cyclops), war, and intrigue. It packs in a lot for such a short book.
