<b><i>New York Times</i>:</b> "In a cameo-studded book...that echoes RAGTIME, just as it sometimes suggests John Irving in fanciful mode, Mr. Chabon tells a bustling, convoluted story in an eloquent, exceptionally precise voice....Especially impressive about THE ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY is its success in reaching for big settings...and big historical relevance without strain."

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.
