Tar Baby by Jerome Charyn
Cast in the form of a hilariously ribald parody of a literary quarterly, ?"The Tar Baby"?is a brilliant, audacious, story-filled novel populated by an array of brawling academics and earthy townies. A commemorative issue honoring the late Anatole Waxman-Weissman, the book/journal parodies a number of academic fads and concerns as the various contributors expose their and their subject's many idiosyncrasies while pursuing their own private agendas.
"An important book.. an experiment in complex impressionistic and involutional form, striking and original in the extremes..." -- Albert J. Guerard, TriQuarterly
A Guggenheim Fellow, Jerome Charyn has taught at Stanford, Rice, and Princeton, and is currently teaching film history at the American University of Paris. Death of a Tango King is his twenty-eighth novel.
