Sinossi
The story of the wars of belief between the French Jesuits and the Iroquois in sixteenth- to eighteenth-century Canada – from the author of Europe Central, winner of the National Book Award
With the same panoramic vision and mythic sensibility he brought to The Ice-Shirt, William T. Vollmann continues his hugely original fictional history of the clash of Indians and Europeans in the New World. It is 400 years ago, and the Black Gowns, French Jesuit priests, are beginning their descent into the forests of Canada, eagerly seeking to convert the Huron--and courting martyrdom at the hands of the rival Iroquois. Through the eyes of these vastly different peoples--particularly through those of the grimly pious Father Jean de Brebeuf and the Indian prophetess Born Underwater--Vollmann reconstructs America's past as tragedy, nightmare, and bloody spectacle. In the process, he does nothing less than reinvent the American novel as well.

In the process, he does nothing less than reinvent the American novel as well." [publisher copy] "Vollmann is the only [novelist] capable of filling the seven-league boots of John Barth, William Gaddis, and Thomas Pynchon. . . FATHERS AND CROWS is a richly imaginative and boldly innovative achievement."--Steven Moore, The Washington Post. "A striking portrayal of two cultures locked in mortal combat. . . Vollmann's strength lies in narratives caught in the necessity of history, studded with gritty realistic details and zapped with dream visions and corkscrewing sentences of wonderful beauty."--John Vernon, Newsday. "The SEVEN DREAMS sequence promises to return us to the history of the North American continent in a form we've never seen it before. . . It is likely to become one of the masterpieces of the century."--Madison Smartt Bell, Chicago Tribune. Near-pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, uniform age-toned pages, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
