Routes

By John Okas

In an offbeat first novel, Okas sets out on a playful allegorical romp through American history -- and the history of ideas -- from reconstruction through the birth of jazz. The narrative is told with lyrical abandon through the omniscient eyes of 'Art in Heaven'. This novel, with its mixed breeds and fable-like quality, turns American myth and folklore on its head as its fairy-tale characters chase after life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness -- well, at least sex, if not always love -- in a world that almost bears some resemblance to reality. -- Kirkus
