'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 Canada is 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
