Cabot Wright Begins by James Purdy
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 240 Kb
Overview: Cabot Wright Begins, first published in 1964, may be one of the most neglected masterpieces in post–World War II American literature.
First appearing in the stifling cultural climate of early 1960s America, Cabot Wright Begins, despite exuberant reviews from a few of America’s most astute reviewers, was regarded, given its shocking and disturbing content, as far too ahead of its time. It tells the story of Chicago car salesman Bernie Gladhart who, spurred on by his ambitious wife, decides to write a novel about a recently paroled serial rapist, Cabot Wright. As Bernie tries to track down Wright in Brooklyn, he encounters a series of bizarre and Dickensian characters and sets in motion an extraordinary chain of events. Unsparing yet prophetic in its portrayal of everything from television to Wall Street, race, urban poverty, and especially sex, Purdy’s comic fiction evokes “an American psychic landscape of deluded innocence, sexual obsession, violence and isolation” (New York Times).
