Quatrième de couverture :
The nuclear holocaust has been and gone, and now everything is different. In Twicetown, once Key West, two missiles sit unexploded, objects of awe and indifference. Mr Cheung teaches the boy Fiskadoro to play the clarinet; Grandmother Wright, the oldest person in the world, endlessly relives the fall of Saigon; Cassius Clay Sugar Ray trades in radioactive artefacts. Boats go out to comb the sea for fish, and the sea keeps some of the men. Tossing fitfully in nightmares of forgotten wars, lazing in the tropical heat, the flotsam and jetsam of a lost civilization pursue their lives through a world of fractured memories. And they wait - for the Cubans to come, for the Quarantine to be lifted, for the god Quetzalcoatl, the god Bob Marley, the god Jesus to return and build their kingdoms.
'A marvellous book, beautifully written and constantly entertaining. He is a wonderful storyteller' Washington Post
'A leap of the imagination. . . stunningly delivered' Los Angeles Times Book Review
'Haunting. . .an eerie and powerful visionary novel' Boston Globe

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Chatto & Windus/The Hogarth Press 1985 Great Britain Hardcover 1st edition, first printing. Book is in near fine condition with no marks or creasing and tight binding. Dust Jacket also is near fine, shiny and smooth with no tearing, marks or noticeable edge wear and protected with brodart. SUMMARY: Hailed by the New York Times as "wildly ambitious" and "the sort of book that a young Herman Melville might have written had he lived today and studied such disparate works as the Bible, 'The Wasteland, ' Fahrenheit 451, and Dog Soldiers, screened Star Wars and Apocalypse Now several times, dropped a lot of acid and listened to hours of Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones," Fiskadoro is a stunning novel of an all-too-possible tomorrow. Deeply moving and provacative, Fiskadoro brilliantly presents the sweeping and heartbreaking tale of the survivors of a devastating nuclear war and their attempts to breaking tale of the survivors of a devastating nuclear war and their attempts to salvage remnants of the old world and rebuild their culture.
