The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction from the author of Wonder Boys. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a heart-wrenching story of escape, love and comic-book heroes set in Prague, New York and the Arctic.
One night in 1939, Josef Kavalier shuffles into his cousin Sam
Clay's cramped New York bedroom, his nerve-racking escape from
Prague finally achieved. Little does he realise that this is the
beginning of an extraordinary friendship and even more fruitful
business partnership. Together they create a comic strip called
'The Escapist', its superhero a Nazi-busting saviour who liberates
the oppressed around the world. The Escapist makes their fortune,
but Joe can think of only one thing: how can he effect a real-life
escape, and free his family from the tyranny of Hitler?
Michael Chabon's exceptional novel is a thrilling tight-rope walk
between high comedy and bitter tragedy, and confirms his position
as one of the most inventive and daring of contemporary American
writers. In Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay, he has created two
unforgettable characters bound together by love, family and
cartoons.
