City of God is an ambitious literary novel set in New York, beginning with the mysterious disappearance of a brass cross from a Manhattan church. From there, Doctorow builds a layered story of faith, history, philosophy, memory, and modern American life, blending mystery, theology, urban realism, and intellectual fiction.
