Pym
A Novel
Mat Johnson
Join an all-black crew of adventurers as they search for the remote island of Tsalal, described in Edgar Allan Poe's only novel. Led by recently canned American literature professor Chris Jaynes, armed with a crude slave narrative, a bag of bones, and Little Debbie snack cakes, they embark on an epic journey to the South Pole to uncover one of literature's great mysteries. Journey beneath the surface of American history on this daring quest for truth.
