<b><i>Times Literary Supplement</i>:</b> "When reality is painful, Chabon seems to suggest, escapism is not self-deluding; it is self-preserving....[The] novel is so accomplished, handling with humour and a light touch a multiplicity of emotion and experience, that it becomes in itself a perfect illustration of his theme. THE ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY is proof of the abiding power of complex, serious, engaged, but above all entertaining story-telling."

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.
