One night in 1939, Josef Kavalier shuffles into his cousin Sam Clay's cramped New York bedroom, his nerve-racking escape from Prague finally achieved. Little does he realise that this is the beginning of an extraordinary friendship and even more fruitful business partnership. Together, they create a comic strip called `The Escapist', its superhero a Nazi-busting saviour who liberates the oppressed around the world. `The Escapist' makes their fortune, but Joe can think of only one thing: how can he effect a real-life escape and free his family from the tyranny of Hitler? Michael Chabon's exceptional novel is a thrilling tightrope walk between high comedy and bitter tragedy. In Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay he has created two unforgettable characters bound together by love, family and cartoons.","brand":"Michael Chabon","offers":[{"title":"656 pages \/ 23\/05\/2024 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57721461309815,"sku":"9780008706159","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780008706159.jpg?v=1794045010","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780008706159","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
