HISTORIC OFFER. PRE-PUB DATE: JAN 15, 2006
Lamore’s novel, written mostly in a working class suburb of Paris, and the product of 6 years of intense and wildly eclectic research ranging from African geo-politics to ornithology (Lamore\\\'s father is an expert on rare birds) has been compared to Anthony Burgess’s Clockwork Orange, Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, and Danté’s Purgatory.
Aside from a short excerpt published in FRANK’s recent issue of Expat Writing, the work has been kept from public view.
AKA by Jean Lamore is one of the most innovative and thought-provoking novels to emerge so far in the 21st century. Set in Paris, New York, and diverse parts of Africa, AKA is a rambunctious romp through almost everything we know about both life and language. Both upsetting and amusing at once in the best sense of both words.
FRANK, Paris’s longest running anglophone literary journal, has been publishing cutting-edge fiction, poetry, and visual art since the early 1980s in the great tradition of expat avant-garde publishing.
The first 299 readers to reserve a copy will receive a numbered and signed copy from a first limited edition. Read more.
