In a first-person monologue that bends and mutates language and historical fact, Johan Padan and the Discovery of the Americas is a brilliant, vividly imagined retelling of Christopher Columbus's voyage to America. Told by a last-minute conscript assigned to clean the shipboard pig stalls, who goes on to be adopted by a tribe of Indians and help them fight conquistadors, it posits a riotous alternate history in which the dynamics between native and white, male and female, history and comedy are never what they seem.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 190mmItem Weight: 226gAuthor: Dario FoTranslator: Ron JenkinsContributor: Ron Jenkins (Translated by)Genre: FictionRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
