Reviews
Exquisitely camp, deliberately decadent, heartless and overripe, I Am Elijah Thrush is recommended to all queer fish, black swans, prodigies, and hybrids., [Purdy's] style is impulsive and prodding, uniquely his own, and uniquely haunting. ---Jonathan Lethem, Mr. Purdy astonishes us with the vividness and fluency that he imparts to an extremely fanciful story . . . The effects are dazzling!, James Purdy was out of category, out of this world, and, hence, often out of print. He was also, without question, one of the most original American writers of the twentieth century. ---Fran Lebowitz, [Purdy's] style is impulsive and prodding, uniquely his own, and uniquely haunting. ---Jonathan Lethem,, In his very best stories and novels Purdy has invented a poetic dreamscape where evil and naiveté collide. He is an enchanter of lost souls who delights and disturbs us with his wayward, winsome ghosts. ---Jerome Charyn, Daily Beast, James Purdy was out of category, out of this world, and, hence, often out of print. He was also, without question, one of the most original American writers of the twentieth century. ---Fran Lebowitz,, James Purdy was out of category, out of this world, and hence, often out of print.

Synopsis
On its surface, I Am Elijah Thrush is the story of Millicent De Frayne and her sensational half-century campaign to win the love of Elijah Thrush. Elijah, after ruining the lives of countless men and women, is finally in love "incorrectly, if not indecently," with his great-grandson, Bird of Heaven. To support an unusual habit, a young Black man, Albert Peggs, reluctantly agrees to tell their remarkable story. It is in this telling that the ambitions, desires, and true natures of Elijah, Millicent, and Albert come to light. With a delicately controlled balance of whimsy and pathos, James Purdy gives us this comedy of the heroic, the tragic, and the truly bizarre. Met with critical bewilderment upon its initial publication fifty years ago, this new edition offers a Foreword by Robert J. Corber illuminating Purdy's "complicated allegory" of objectification, desire, and race in the immediate post-civil rights moment.
