PETER CAREY / Parrot and Olivier in America / Presented by Berkeley Arts & Letters
Peter Carey -- twice a winner of the prestigious Man Booker Prize -- returns with his 11th novel, and it may be his most ambitious work yet. PARROT AND OLIVIER IN AMERICA reimagines Alexis de Tocqueville's journey to and through Jacksonian America, and the result is extraordinary. Inspired by reading Democracy in America and finding Tocqueville worrying about the same things Carey himself worried about -- particularly how you can have a real culture in a capitalist democratic society -- PARROT AND OLIVIER is part re-imagination of history, part love letter from Carey to his adopted country, and wholly a brilliant new novel from the man novelist Edmund White calls "one of the best writers in English."
Paul Auster writes, "Parrot and Olivier transports us to the rough-and-tumble America of 1830, and it's possibly the most charming and engaging novel this demon of a story-teller has yet written...Open this book and listen to Peter Carey sing."
This is Peter Carey's only Bay Area appearance.
