The Carp Castle introduces us to these misfits--to the unemployed American metaphysician, the perpetually ill English nurse, the guilt-ridden German captain, and a handful of others--as they board an airship called The League of Nations, which will, perhaps, deliver them to the promised land. Exuberantly written and rich with historical ironies, The Carp Castle is a remarkable final statement from MacDonald Harris, praised by the Chicago Tribune as \"a gifted craftsman, a meticulous writer whose powers as a storyteller are as compelling as the sexual tensions he imagines.\" Praise for the work of MacDonald Harris: \"A delight . . . Harriss sympathy for such a range of characters in their crazinesses, their various kinds of loneliness, their sheer comedy is wonderful. I think [The Carp Castle is] one of his very best.\" --Philip Pullman \"Every so often, one discovers a novel that simply stays with you, that haunts your imagination for days after it's closed and put back on the shelf. The Balloonist is that kind of book.\" --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929506316576,"sku":"NEW1468306944","price":17.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-carp-castle-a-novel-1468306944","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
