After smuggling himself out of Nazi-invaded Prague, young Jewish artist Joe Kavalier—who has also been schooled in the technique of Houdini-esque escape—arrived in New York City. Sammy Clay, his cousin from Brooklyn, is seeking a collaborator to produce storylines, characters, and artwork for the newest American invention: comic books. Inspired by the stunning Rosa Saks, who will have strong connections to both men, Kavalier and Clay develop the Escapist, the Monitor, and Luna Moth based on their own anxieties and desires. Michael Chabon narrates an amazing tale of American passion and promise with breathtaking elegance and grace.
