First of all, some general facts about the author will be presented to provide an appropriate context for the further discussion. Afterwards, the structure of the novel will be explained by giving an overview over the main symbols and their function within the book. The emphasis will then be put on the characterization of David Schearl, the central character of the novel. His search for purification and salvation will be scrutinized with regard to the "Isaiah Story", a passage of the Old Testament, which is strongly linked to the topic of redemption. At the end of the paper the question whether David can be called a her-messiah because of his strong sensibility concerning religious themes and experiences will be discussed.
