Hav: Last Letters from Hav of the Myrmidons

Bag om Hav: Last Letters from Hav of the Myrmidons

"Journey through a mystical country where everything is possible and easily arranged" in this 2-part travelogue set in a fictional Mediterranean city of dreams (Los Angeles Times). "A touching lover letter . . . to life itself"--featuring Last Letters from Hav, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and a foreword by Ursula K. Le Guin (The Independent) > When Morris published Last Letters from Hav in 1985, it was short-listed for the Booker Prize. Here it is joined by Hav of the Myrmidons, a sequel that brings the story up-to-date. Twenty-first-century Hav is nearly unrecognizable. Sanitized and monetized, it is ruled by a group of fanatics who have rewritten its history to reflect their own blinkered view of the past. Morris's only novel is dazzlingly sui-generis, part erudite travel memoir, part speculative fiction, part cautionary political tale. It transports the reader to an extraordinary place that never was, but could well be. "Jan Morris is to other travel writers what John le Carré is to other spy novelists." --New York Times
