Tradepaperback edition. Part myth, part fable, part satire, and part coming-of-age story, The Conjure Man plumbs the emotional depths of the human psyche in prose both dreamlike in the images it conjures and intensely vivid in the psychology it reveals. Told from the alternating viewpoints of Kilby and Thaddeus, it depicts a world where magic does exist, and miracles are possible.
River Boat Books is a publisher of great literature and was founded in 1996 in St. Paul, MN on the banks of the Mississippi River. We chose the name to honor the indomitable, adventurous spirit of Mark Twain, whose presence lingers not only up and down the Mississippi, but across the landscape of American literature. Our titles reflect both the elegance of a bygone era and an unrelenting passionate commitment to breaking all boundaries and exploring new territory.
