Expand description
"The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier Clay" is a stunning novel of endless comic invention and unforgettable characters, written in the exhilarating prose that has led critics to compare Michael Chabon to Cheever and Nabokov. In Joe Kavalier, Chabon, writing "like a magical spider, effortlessly spinning of elaborate webs of words that ensnare the reader". (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times), has created a hero for the century.
