Jean Lamore's AKA

[Ya Sam]

AKA

Lamore’s novel, written mostly in a working class suburb of Paris, and the 
product of 6 years of intense and wildly eclectic research ranging from 
African geo-politics to ornithology (Lamore´s father is an expert on rare 
birds) has been compared to Anthony Burgess’s Clockwork Orange, Thomas 
Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, and Danté’s Purgatory. Aside from a short 
excerpt published in FRANK’s recent issue of Expat Writing, the work has 
been kept from public view. AKA by Jean Lamore is one of the most innovative 
and thought-provoking novels to emerge so far in the 21st century. Set in 
Paris, New York, and diverse parts of Africa, AKA is a rambunctious romp 
through almost everything we know about both life and language. Both 
upsetting and amusing at once in the best sense of both words. FRANK, 
Paris’s longest running anglophone literary journal, has been publishing 
cutting-edge fiction, poetry, and visual art since the early 1980s in the 
great tradition of expat avant-garde publishing. The first 300 readers to 
reserve a copy will receive a numbered and signed copy from a first limited 
edition.
