The 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.
