Paperback. Zustand: Good. "THE SHARPEST AND MOST UNUSUAL STORY I READ LAST YEAR . . . [Mat] Johnson's satirical vision roves as freely as Kurt Vonnegut's and is colored with the same sort of passionate humanitarianism."--Maud Newton, New York Times Magazine NAMED 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 Poe's 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 Pym's 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 literature's great mysteries.   "Outrageously entertaining, [Pym] brilliantly re-imagines and extends Edgar Allan Poe's 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 Post "Blisteringly funny."--Laura Miller, Salon "Relentlessly entertaining."--The New York Times Book Review "Imagine 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 marveling--gleefully--at all the mayhem that ensues."--Houston Chronicle.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK -NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY San Francisco Chronicle NPR Men s Journal The Denver Post Slate Time Out New York-From the author of the critically beloved Pym ( Imagine Kurt Vonnegut having a beer with Ralph Ellison and Jules Verne. Vanity Fair) comes a ruthlessly comic and moving tale of a man discovering a lost daughter, confronting an elusive ghost, and stumbling onto the possibility of utopia. In the ghetto there is a mansion, and it is my father s house. Warren Duffy has returned to America for all the worst reasons: His marriage to a beautiful Welsh woman has come apart; his comics shop in Cardiff has failed; and his Irish American father has died, bequeathing to Warren his last possession, a roofless, half-renovated mansion in the heart of black Philadelphia. On his first night in his new home, Warren spies two figures outside in the grass. When he screws up the nerve to confront them, they disappear. The next day he encounters ghosts of a different kind: In the face of a teenage girl he meets at a comics convention he sees the mingled features of his white father and his black mother, both now dead. The girl, Tal, is his daughter, and she s been raised to think she s white. Spinning from these revelations, Warren sets off to remake his life with a reluctant daughter he s never known, in a haunted house with a history he knows too well. In their search for a new life, he and Tal struggle with ghosts, fall in with a utopian mixed-race cult, and ignite a riot on Loving Day, the unsung holiday for interracial lovers. A frequently hilarious, surprisingly moving story about blacks and whites, fathers and daughters, the living and the dead, Loving Day celebrates the wonders of opposites bound in love. Praise for Loving Day Incisive . . . razor-sharp . . .that rare melange: cerebral comedy with pathos. The vitality of our narrator deserves much of the credit for that. He has the neurotic bawdiness of Philip Roth s Alexander Portnoy; the keen, caustic eye of Bob Jones in Chester Himes s If He Hollers Let Him Go; the existential insight of Ellison s Invisible Man. The New York Times Book Review Exceptional . . . To say that Loving Day is a book about race is like saying Moby-Dick is a book about whales. . . . Mat Johnson s] unrelenting examination of blackness, whiteness and everything in between is handled with ruthless candor and riotous humor. . . . Even when the novel s family strife and racial politics are at peak intensity, Johnson s comic timing is impeccable. Los Angeles Times Loving Day is about being blackish in America, a subject about which Johnson has emerged as satirist, historian, spy, social media trickster (follow him on Twitter) and demon-fingered blues guitarist. . . . Johnson, at his best, is a powerful comic observer and] a gifted writer, always worth reading on the topics of race and privilege. Dwight Garner, The New York Times Hilarious and touching new novel about family, identity and what it means to truly love other people . . . The disasters make us who we are, and the results can sometimes be amazing as amazing as this beautiful, triumphant miracle of a book. NPR Giddy, biting . . . ferocious . . . Grand metaphors, unsparing social commentary, sharp characters, and sharper humor help propel the book. . . . A welcome effort from a major talent. The Boston Globe. …
