The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party

Andersonâ€™s imaginative and highly intelligent exploration of . . . the ambiguous history of Americaâ€™s origins will leave readers impatient for the sequel. â€” TheÂ New York TimesÂ Book Review

Young Octavian is being raised by a group of rational philosophers known only by numbers â€” but it is only after he opens a forbidden door that learns the hideous nature of their experiments, and his own chilling role them. Set in Revolutionary Boston, M. T. Andersonâ€™s mesmerizing novel takes place at a time when Patriots battled to win liberty while African slaves were entreated to risk their lives for a freedom they would never claim. The first of two parts, this deeply provocative novel reimagines past as an eerie place that has startling resonance for readers today.
