Professional Reviews
|
| : |
Kalfus, Ken, New York Times Book Review: "Although suffused with tragedy, THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY proves to be a comic epic, generously optimistic about the human struggle for personal liberation....[T]he depth of Chabon's thought, his sharp language, his inventiveness and his ambition make this a novel of towering achievement." |

| Publisher's Note: |
In later years, holding forth to an interviewer or to an audience of aging fans at a comic book convention, Sam Clay liked to declare, apropos of his and Joe Kavalier's greatest creation, that back when he was a boy, sealed and hog-tied inside the airtight vessel known as Brooklyn, New York, he had been haunted by dreams of Harry Houdini. |
