The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
A rich in-house night continues with this welcome return two-time Booker Prize-winner Peter Carey. A U.S. resident now for twenty years—since coming from his native Australia—he writes his most deeply American-set story yet in the much-praised new novel, Parrot & Olivier in America (Knopf). "Echoes of Tocqueville's masterpiece are matched by intimations of Mark Twain ... a thrillingly fresh and incisive drama of extraordinary personalities set during a time of world-altering vision and action." - Donna Seaman, Booklist. "Peter Cary is a wily seducer, a mental acrobat who can bound across continents and centuries and make us believe in whatever world he has discovered and imagined. Parrot & Olivier transports us to the rough-and-tumble America of 1830, and it's possibly the most charming and engaging novel this demon of a story-teller has yet written. His prose has never been more buoyant, more vigorous, more musical. Open this book and listen to Peter Carey sing." - Paul Auster.
