In the Wake of the Flagship

Fredrick Barton

4.9/5 (14899 ratings)

Description:Continuing the story started in The El Cholo Feeling Passes, Barton's newest novel finds college basketball coach Richard Janus in an unlikely position: he has recently become the interim rector of Urban University, the woefully underfunded public college of Choctaw, Alkansea. When Choctaw is devastated by a major hurricane, Janus must battle with the unscrupulous heads of flagship ASU to keep Urban, the school he loves, from closing its doors forever. Told through the eyes of Metacom, the legendary Indian sachem of King Philip's War, Flagship is a blistering (and often hilarious) examination of the contradictions implicit in the American experience.Praise for In the Wake of the Flagship"Barton has a lot of important human business on his mind in this exceptional novel: race, history, the South, hurricanes, laughter, love, and much more. In the Wake of the Flagship is wonderfully inventive, and addictive to read." Richard Ford“Rick Barton’s In the Wake of the Flagship brilliantly turns the historical novel on its head. At once hilarious, thought-provoking and ultimately tragic, this novel is an opus, the work of a writer at the peak of his powers.” Joseph Boyden, author of Three Day Road and The Orenda “In this time-warping, genre-blurring novel, satirist Fredrick Barton skewers four centuries of American idiots, from 17th-century Puritans to FEMA officials of our own time. This is a book that takes no prisoners. Miles Harvey, author of The Lost Island of Maps “In the Wake of the Flagship is absorbing, head-turning, absolutely brilliant.” Gary B. Nash, author of The Unknown American Revolution “In the Wake of the Flagship is a delightfully imagined, often hilarious tale about greed, territory, bigotry and the lies hidden within American history. Barton brilliantly links the legacy of the past to this contemporary moment.” Rene Steinke, author of Holy Skirts and FriendswoodWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
