Jurgen: a Comedy of Justice

James Branch Cabell was a magnificently strange, funny, provocative fantasist, whose epic but all-too-human tales of magical adventure made fans out of Mark Twain, Robert Heinlein, and Neil Gaiman. Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice, Cabell's most revolutionary novel, scandalized 1920s America with its sexual satire and its down-and-dirty, behind-the-scenes glimpse at what epic heroes might really be like. This fresh edition kicks off Wildside's attractively packaged new series spotlighting the authors who inspired today's bestselling fantasy novelists.
