Commenting on Memnoch The Devil, Rice has sai d , "I have no interest in ridicule, satire or cynicism.Lestat's confrontation with God and the Devil - never for a moment ridiculed the concept of God or the Devil, or the churches that exist in God's name. On the contrary I take these cosmic que st ions so seriously that a huge religious audience turned out to show a serious response to Memnoch. Ministers came to the signings and offered me their own books about the existence of God. Many felt that Lestat's questions of God and the Devil e mbo died their own." 8vo. 354 pp. Fine in fine dustwrapper. /Dust Jacket Included.
