A stunning and beautiful book from a great writer who has the long received the bizarre criticism that his books are a little too smart and ironic, too infatuated with post modern satire to reach the heart. He has also been frequently compared to Pynchon, Morrison, Ellison, and Heller, and I suspect he will very much continue to get those comparisons as many elements of what makes those authors great are present in Whitehead, stark examination of race and his ability to use the absurd and darkly comic to illustrate our country in ways that more realistic fiction may miss. Using parodies of slave narratives that doesn't blink away from the horror and implications of America's original sin, alternative history and riffs on Gulliver's travels to illustrate the complicated history of slavery, all the while providing a thrilling novel with beautiful language and arresting imagery. Due to Oprah's attention and the subject matter I suspect this will be one of his best know works, don't neglect his others but this is definitely one of his best and clear headed and deserves the attention.

Kicking out the cobwebs of the southern gothic genre of O'Conner, McCarthy, and Thompson with an exuberant display of black comedy and generous vision of humanity and all its beautiful and terrifying impulses. An inferno or odyssey filled with fools, dreamers, con men, and serial killers. Moments of horror and violence but also moments of sweetness, beauty, and even happiness. Told with a wicked sense of humor compared on the back cover to Gogol and I have to agree. An upside down carnivalesque display of this vale of tears. His sense of humanity and humor transcend and comparison to past authors and the vision is unique. His best work and probably going to be the best novel I've read this year.
