The 50th anniversary edition of Metcalf's extraordinary novel--with a new introduction by Rick Moody--is a reckoning with Columbus, America, myth, and his great-grandfather Herman Melville.

This is a 50th anniversary edition with a new introduction by Rick Moody.

First published in 1965, Genoa is Metcalf's purging of the burden of his relationship to his great-grandfather Herman Melville. In his signature polyphonic style, the life of Melville, Melville's use and conversion of the Columbus myth, and the story of the Mills brothers--one, an M.D. who refuses to practice, the other an executed murderer--vibrate and sing a quintessentially American song.
