Like Phillip Roth's American Pastoral or Don DeLillo's Underworld, Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a superb novel with epic sweep, spanning continents and eras, a masterwork by one of America's finest writers. It is New York City in 1939. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdini-esque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat to date: smuggling himself out of Nazi-occupied Prague. He is looking to make big money, fast, so that he can bring his family to freedom. His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a collaborator to create the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book. Out of their fantasies, fears, and dreams, Joe and Sammy weave the legend of that unforgettable champion the Escapist. And inspired by the beautiful and elusive Rosa Saks, a woman who will be linked to both men by powerful ties of desire, love, and shame, they create the otherworldly mistress of the night, Luna Moth. As the shadow of Hitler falls across Europe and the world, the Golden Age of comic books has begun. The brilliant writing that has led critics to compare Michael Chabon to John Cheever and Vladimir Nabokov is everywhere apparent in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. Chabon writes "like a magical spider, effortlessly spinning out elaborate webs of words that ensnare the reader," wrote Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times about Wonder Boys-and here he has created, in Joe Kavalier, a hero for the century."-- $c Book jacket. 586 $a Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2001. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc $x Authorship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Heroes in mass media $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Czech Americans $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Young men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cartoonists $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Coming of age $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Cartoonists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848081 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x Authorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869148 650 7 $a Czech Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00886333 650 7 $a Heroes in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955585 650 7 $a Young men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183263 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 650 7 $a Czech Americans $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Mass media $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 sears 650 7 $a Heroes and heroines $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x Technique $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Young men $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Artists $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Humorous stories. 655 4 $a Humorous fiction. 655 4 $a Bildungsromans. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726536 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726649 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromane. $2 sears 655 7 $a Humorous stories. $2 sears 856 41 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random044/00029063.html $z Sample text 856 42 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random052/00029063.html $z Contributor biographical information 856 42 $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random0411/00029063.html $z Publisher description 856 42 $i Input this URL in a browser to get HTML More Info data. $q HTML $u http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0679450041&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=22d9211f70a50b1b8bef4e223cf7c8f5272f241c8d155a8e96536b7bff1e6ba2&ectype=MOREINFO $x OCLC EC $z More Info 856 42 $i Input this URL in a browser to get HTML table of contents data. $q HTML $u http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0679450041&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=22d9211f70a50b1b8bef4e223cf7c8f5272f241c8d155a8e96536b7bff1e6ba2&ectype=TOC $x OCLC EC $z table of contents 856 4 $u http://www.michaelchabon.com 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l TQPB062 $d 20210621135115.0 $n 17 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=259A02BCAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
