The Amalgamation Polka by Stephen Wright
Stephen Wright offers an American Civil War novel unlike any other. His hero Liberty Fish is the son of fervent abolitionists and the grandson of Carolina slaveholders. Hoping to reconcile the familial disunion, Liberty escapes first into the cauldron of war, then into a bedlam more disturbing still.
"'.. the prose often recalls that of Mark Twain... I was dazzled by Wright's language.' Jay Parini, Guardian"
Stephen Wright was educated at the U.S. Army Intelligence School and the Iowa Writers' Workshop. He has taught at Princeton University, Brown University, and, most recently, The New School. He lives in New York City.
