Flight to Canada de Ishmael Reed

Flight to Canada: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Ishmael Reed
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iul 2018
'Reinvents the particulars of slavery in America with a comic rage ... The book explodes. Reed's special grace is anger ... a muscular, luminous prose'The New York Times

'It always was, and will always be the most fearlessly original, most viciously political, most rambunctiously funny epic of slavery ever written. America almost doesn't deserve it' - Marlon James (2015 Man Booker Prize Winner)

'I loves it here ... We gets whipped with a velvet whip, and there's free dentalcare'

Three slaves are on the run in the deep South, with their former master hot on their heels and the Civil War raging.

One of them arms himself for a final showdown; one sells his body for pornographic movies; while the last, Raven Quickskill - hero, poet, heartbreaker - swigs champagne on a non-stop jumbo jet to Canada. Taking us on a wild ride through a nineteenth century littered with limousines, waterbeds and colour TVs,Flight to Canadais a surreal, madly funny satire on race in America.

'A satirical "neo-slave narrative", the novel wittily conjoins the past of slavery to the present of America's bicentennial'New York Review of Books

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Brilliantly portrayed by a novelist with "a talent for hyperbole and downright yarning unequaled since Mark Twin", (SATURDAY REVIEW), this slave's-eye view of the Civil War exposes America's racial foibles of the past and present with uninhibited humor and panache. "A book that reinvents the particulars of slavery in America with comic rage".--THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW.
