This captivating novel intertwines the stories of several inhabitants on Saipan, America's least-appreciated tropical island. George Griffin is a jaded writer who comes for a press junket and stays far longer than expected; Stephanie Warner is a university professor recently on "trial separation" from her husband; Mel Brodie is an elderly entrepreneur; and Khan is a Bangladeshi laborer who comes to Saipan ("America") to escape hunger. Their voices circle the enthralling element of Saipan-and the hopes that originally drew them to the island. With the versatility that won Kluge accolades as the writer behind Dog Day Afternoon, The Master Blaster is a rare wonder of contemporary storytelling. Praise for The Master Blaster "This is not a young man's book; it's the work of a writer who has seen the world, literally and figuratively, for a long time. The Master Blaster is tinged with thoughts of mortality, but they are offset by a bon vivant's occasional flash of gratitude and beauty." -Janet Maslin, New York Times "Delving deep into his rich setting, P.F. Kluge patiently lays out a tale of intrigue and ignorance worthy of Graham Greene." -Stewart O'Nan, author of Wish You Were Here "Fear, violence, sex, and money blow like trade winds across this Fantasy Island, a microscopic petri dish of greed and race sweltering in the American Pacific. Kluge is among our finest novelists, and he flexes his muscles over this postage stamp of territory. Like all the greats before him, he saves his best line for last, in this his greatest book." -Tony D'Souza, author of Mule "Recommended . . . for its interesting character development, plot twists, and "gotcha" ending." -Booklist [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15362530 [pa] => [subtitle] => A Novel [publisher] => ABRAMS, Inc.
