Brilliantly portrayed by a novelist with "a talent for hyperbole and downright yarning unequaled since Mark Twain", (Saturday Review), this slave's-eye view of the Civil War exposes America's racial foibles of the past and present with uninhibited humor and panache. Mixing history, fantasy, political reality, and comedy, Ishmael Reed spins the tale of three runaway slaves and the master determined to catch them. His on-target parody of fugitive slave narratives and other literary forms includes a hero who boards a jet bound for Canada; Abraham Lincoln waltzing through slave quarters to the tune of "Hello, Dolly"; and a plantation mistress entranced by TV's "Beecher Hour". Filled with insights into the political consciences (or lack thereof) of both blacks and whites, Flight to Canada confirms Reed's status as "a great writer" (James Baldwin). "A demonized Uncle Tom's Cabin, a book that reinvents the particulars of slavery in America with comic rage". -- The New York Times Book Review "Wears the mantle of Baldwin and Ellison like a high-powered Flip Wilson in drag...a terrifically funny book". -- Baltimore Sun

History interwoven with fiction and fantasy，妙趣横生的背后是暴力和苦涩，却始终追寻心中的Canada。
评分非常有意思的故事!
评分还挺妙的plot 戏剧冲突也很强 有些horror元素（看起来大满足！
评分很幽默，但自己不能完全get到。关键词，时空错乱，巫毒主义，戏仿（莫里森，爱伦坡），历史元小说，新奴隶叙事，语言游戏。这本书给我感觉和 白雪公主 有相似的阅读体验，形式导向意义，但形式太喧宾夺主导致意义的弥散。
评分History interwoven with fiction and fantasy，妙趣横生的背后是暴力和苦涩，却始终追寻心中的Canada。
