    AS FLIES TO WHATLESS.

    Edition: Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. )

    New York: Akashic Books, 2013. First edition - Award-winning historical novel set in 1845 Trinidad. "In 1845 London, an engineer, philosopher, philanthropist, and bold-faced charlatan, John Adolphus Etzler, has invented machines that he thinks will transform the division of labor and free all men. He forms a collective called the Tropical Emigration Society (TES), and recruits a variety of London citizens to take his machines and his misguided ideas to form a proto-socialist, utopian community in the British colony of Trinidad." Edwidge Danticat called this "a marvel of narrative and documents, which collide to create a book that is at times breathtaking and tragic and at other times laugh-out-loud hilarious." Winner of the 2014 OCM Bocas Prize. 327 pp plus final message.

    Condition: Fine in illustrated wrappers (a very different cover than the trade edition)
