Title: Cigarettes
Author: Harry Mathews
ISBN: 9781628976076
Publisher: Dalkey Archive Press
Published: 2025
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Publisher Description: <p><b><i>Cigarettes</i> is a novel about the rich and powerful, tracing their complicated relationships from the 1930s to the 1960s, from New York City to Upper New York State.</b></p><p>Though nothing is as simple as it might appear to be, we could describe this as a story about Allen, who is married to Maud but having an affair with Elizabeth, who lives with Maud. Or say it is a story about fraud in the art world, horse racing, and sexual intrigues. Or, as one critic did, compare it to a Jane Austen creation, or to an Aldous Huxley novel--and be right and wrong on both counts.</p><p>With a new introduction by Lucy Sante, <i>Cigarettes</i> returns to print in full force: a brilliant display of Harry Mathews's ingenuity and deadly playfulness.</p>
