#WhatWereReading : Joe found Benjamin Myer's Jesus Christ Kinski to be one of his most unusual (even bonkers) but totally compelling novel reads of the year.

Half of it is the (in)famous actor's inner monologue, as he performs a one-man theatre show as Jesus, in 1970s West Germany, the other half is the author musing as to why, having finally had a bestseller and a film adaptation, he feels driven to research this moment and write about an insane German actor who has been dead for years (but he just can't stop! And to be honest, neither could I!)
