Exciting, important,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a great American novel.
John Barth emerged as one of the most exciting and promising novelists of his generation with the publication of his first novel,The Floating Opera . The subsequent appearance ofThe End of the Road ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],The Sot-Weed Factor , andGiles Goat-Boy has more than justified this promise.
InThe End of the Road , Barth tells an intensely perceptive, funny,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and savagely realistic tale, with a principal character, Jake Horner, who has been described as "one of the most fantastically dreadful" to appear in a long time.
"The End of the Roadhas more freshness,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more wit and invention, and more intellectual life of its own than most recent American fiction. It is a horrifying book too, and neither the vocabulary nor the situations will recommend themselves to the squeamish." --Harper's
"A brilliant novel of marital infidelity on a college campus by the best writer we have at the present, and one of the best we have ever had." --New York Times
