The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation: Vol 1: The Pox Party
A highly acclaimed, award-winning portrait of betrayal set against the backdrop of tragedy, slavery and war.
Raised by a group of rational philosophers known only by numbers, Octavian and his mother are the only persons in their household assigned names. As Cassiopeia entertains the house scholars with her beauty and wit, young Octavian begins to question the purpose behind his guardians' fanatical studies. Set against the disquiet of revolutionary Boston, M. T. Anderson's extraordinary prize-winning novel is an elegantly written and richly textured story in the first of a two-volume literary saga.
- Winner of the 2006 National Book Award, America's preeminent literary prize.
- "A book which arrives from America groaning with rewards and reputation. It deserves to do just as well here," The Guardian.
M.T. Anderson
