• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The twenty-first-century revival of James Purdy continues with his classic novel of innocence and corruption.

Introduced simply as the boy on the bench, the titular character of Malcolm is a Candide-like figure who is picked up by the most famous astrologer of his period and introduced to a series of increasingly absurd characters and bizarre situations in the most prodigiously funny book to streak across these heavy-hanging times (Dorothy Parker).
