In \u003ci\u003eGlobetrotter, \u003c\/i\u003e Albahari deals with the bewilderments of exile and lost identity, themes he has investigated in earlier works. But in this unsettling experimental book he also enters new arenas, where sexual identity and the nature of blame and guilt attract his scrutiny. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Narrated in a single uninterrupted paragraph, the novel takes place in the late 1990s at the Banff Art Centre in the Canadian Rockies. Three men--a painter from Saskatchewan and the narrator of the tale, a writer from Serbia, and a man whose traveling Croatian grandfather long ago jotted his name in a local museum's guest book--become acquainted, then attached, then fatally entangled. On a climactic mountain hike that seethes with jealousy, desire, shame, and guilt, each man must engage in a final struggle. Albahari seizes his reader's attention and never yields it in this remarkable, gripping tale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Albahari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030020132X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300201321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.74h x 6.02w x 0.38d","brand":"David Albahari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946405593343,"sku":"9780300201321","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f706c348-7fb7-43eb-9baf-c7636a8881fe.jpg?v=1681512962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/globetrotter-david-albahari-9780300201321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
