Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. THE SHARPEST AND MOST UNUSUAL STORY I READ LAST YEAR . . . [Mat] Johnsons satirical vision roves as freely as Kurt Vonneguts and is colored with the same sort of passionate humanitarianism.Maud Newton, New York Times MagazineNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post Vanity Fair Houston Chronicle The Seattle Times Salon National Post The A.V. Club Recently canned professor of American literature Chris Jaynes has just made a startling discovery: the manuscript of a crude slave narrative that confirms the reality of Edgar Allan Poes strange and only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Determined to seek out Tsalal, the remote island of pure and utter blackness that Poe describes, Jaynes convenes an all-black crew of six to follow Pyms trail to the South Pole, armed with little but the firsthand account from which Poe derived his seafaring tale, a bag of bones, and a stash of Little Debbie snack cakes. Thus begins an epic journey by an unlikely band of adventurers under the permafrost of Antarctica, beneath the surface of American history, and behind one of literatures great mysteries. Outrageously entertaining, [Pym] brilliantly re-imagines and extends Edgar Allan Poes enigmatic and unsettling Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. . . . Part social satire, part meditation on race in America, part metafiction and, just as important, a rollicking fantasy adventure . . . reminiscent of Philip Roth in its seemingly effortless blend of the serious, comic and fantastic.Michael Dirda, The Washington PostBlisteringly funny.Laura Miller, SalonRelentlessly entertaining.The New York Times Book ReviewImagine Kurt Vonnegut having a beer with Ralph Ellison and Jules Verne.Vanity Fair Screamingly funny . . . Reading Pym is like opening a big can of whoop-ass and then marvelinggleefullyat all the mayhem that ensues.Houston Chronicle A comic journey into the ultimate land of whiteness by an unlikely band of African American adventurers. Jaynes is obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe's only novel; when he discovers a crude slave narrative that seems to confirm the reality of Poe's fiction, he resolves to seek out Tsalal, imagining it to be a key to his personal salvation.
