Brilliantly portrayed by a novelist with "a talent for hyperbole and downright yarning unequaled since Mark Twain", (Saturday Review), this slave's-eye view of the Civil War exposes America's racial foibles of the past and present with uninhibited humor and panache. Mixing history, fantasy, political reality, and comedy, Ishmael Reed spins the tale of three runaway slaves and the master determined to catch them. His on-target parody of fugitive slave narratives and other literary forms includes a hero who boards a jet bound for Canada; Abraham Lincoln waltzing through slave quarters to the tune of "Hello, Dolly"; and a plantation mistress entranced by TV's "Beecher Hour". Filled with insights into the political consciences (or lack thereof) of both blacks and whites, Flight to Canada confirms Reed's status as "a great writer" (James Baldwin). "A demonized Uncle Tom's Cabin, a book that reinvents the particulars of slavery in America with comic rage". -- The New York Times Book Review "Wears the mantle of Baldwin and Ellison like a high-powered Flip Wilson in drag...a terrifically funny book". -- Baltimore Sun

還挺妙的plot 戲劇衝突也很強 有些horror元素(看起來大滿足!
評分很幽默,但自己不能完全get到。關鍵詞,時空錯亂,巫毒主義,戲仿(莫裏森,愛倫坡),曆史元小說,新奴隸敘事,語言遊戲。這本書給我感覺和 白雪公主 有相似的閱讀體驗,形式導嚮意義,但形式太喧賓奪主導緻意義的彌散。
評分結構,鬆散。。語言,喜歡用俚語和各種奇怪的詞,比較煩。。人物,要麼醜陋要麼無力。。雖然故事講得彆具一格,但是還是不太能欣賞。。。
評分還是很有意思的
評分It is said to be a parody to various famous fiction but i didn't feel anything.讀得太快沒體會到任何樂趣。
