| Â | Godric (novel) |
 | | Godric is a novel published in 1981, written by Frederick Buechner, that tells the semi-fictionalized life story of a medieval Catholic saint : Godric of Finchale. | | | Godric is told in Saint Godric's own voice: Buechner intentionally uses style, tone, and word choice to evoke a "medieval" manner of speaking. | | | The mass here is for 3 choirs of 8 voices (my guess is SSATTTBB) and is in a style similiar to his contemporaries Willae... |

| | The novel is an affectionate imitation of Victorian novels such as those of Hardy, but is told mainly from a 1960s viewpoint. | | | The narrator, who claims he is writing the novel, says he does not know what his characters will do, but determines the plot by chance. | | | The mysteries he offers Nicholas are metaphors for the mysterious nature of the world through which the young man must make his way. |

| | At one point his scribe Reginald reminds him that the name Godric means "God reigns" but Godric himself feels more affinity with the term "God's wreck." He says, "...Godric's sins have made a wreck of God." | | | Like Paul in the New Testament (see Romans chapter 7 for instance), Godric is continually brought to an awareness of his inner wretchedness as compared with other's perception of him. | | | This novel is so meticulously put together that each sentence is written in iambs. |

| | As much as Godric tries to portray his true nature (which is not so holy) to the biographer, the biographer sees only a holy man. Godric is a saint whether he likes it or not—and it's certainly not his own deeds that make him holy. | | | The novel focuses on the murder of Fyodor Karamazov, and the intrigue surrounding the case involving his sons, each of whom represent different worldviews; Alyosha—a theistic worldview, Dmitry—a romantic worldview, Ivan—an existentialist worldview, and the illegitimate Smerdyakov, who appears as the evil outcast. | | | The motif of patricide is heavily theological, and God is ever present in the book, always looming over everything that happens, always forcing man to come to terms with him. |

| Â | Nights And Weekends - Godric Review |
| | This Pulitzer-nominated novel is among Deborah’s all-time favorite books. | | | And by so doing he draws his readers into this story of sin and faith and hermitage and self-mortification, concepts not familiar to most modern minds but made fascinating in this Pulitzer-nominated book, which is among my all-time favorites. | | | He’s defiantly telling the real version of his story since he’s sure the monk (Reginald) who’s writing about him is cleaning it up too much. |

| | Harry and Godric have already forgotten meeting the dryad, and the Doctor, who is unaffected by her spell, writes an explanation in ink on their hands so he won’t have to keep explaining himself. | | | A dazed young man named Godric then appears in the woods, dressed in medieval clothing and claiming that Arthur is the King of England. | | | Driven by curiosity, Harry snoops around the cottage and finds letters from the editor of Astounding Stories magazine, rejecting the Doctor’s imaginative but undisciplined tales. |
