Description:
Pangborn Books. Near Fine. 2000. First Edition. Softcover. 0962640638 . Ex-library book, but still in great condition - sturdy laminated cover and usual ex-lib type markings. Overall wear is very light. " Polite fixes his rollicking chase through Egypt, Greece and Las Vegas in the form of a novella-length narrative poem, creating an entertaining hybrid of formal poetics (in this case using the pantheras, an invented Turkish form that requires a 21-line unit made up of three stanzas) and suspense fiction. The dark hero, Hyde, is also a curious mixture; his gallant, slightly debauched style suggests Byron's Don Juan while his name, dress clothes and cane evoke the menace of Stevenson's character. The plot of the poem coheres as a sort of postmodern police thriller, with Hyde an arch-criminal, who with his lover, MiLady, is pursued by Fantoush, head of a clutch of klutzy agents, from Trebizond to Las Vegas...."
