<b><i>New York Times Book Review</i>:</b> "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.
