From the National Book Award-winning author of Europe Central - a hugely original fictional history of Pocahontas, John Smith, and the Jamestown colony in Virginia

In Argall, the third novel in his Seven Dreams series, William T. Vollmann alternates between extravagant Elizabethan language and gritty realism in an attempt to dig beneath the legend surrounding Pocahontas, John Smith, and the founding of the Jamestown colony in Virginia-as well as the betrayals, disappointments, and atrocities behind it. With the same panoramic vision, mythic sensibility, and stylistic daring that he brought to the previous novels in the Seven Dreams series--hailed upon its inception as "the most important literary project of the '90s" (The Washington Post)--Vollmann continues his hugely original fictional history of the clash of Native Americans and Europeans in the New World. In reconstructing America's past as tragedy, nightmare, and bloody spectacle, Vollmann does nothing less than reinvent the American novel.

Industry Reviews

"Ascend[s] lyrically into the weather-beaten, blood-soaked early history of America" - THE INDEPENDENT "One of the masterpieces of the century." - The Chicago Tribune "Arguably the best instalment in this magnificent series." - Library Journal "Vollmann's commanding yet nimble, ironic yet deeply felt approach to the continent's complex history is the work of genius." - Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)"
