A scathing, razorsharp satire set on a New Orleansbound riverboat, The ConfidenceMan exposes the fraudulent optimism of so many American idols and idealistsRalph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and P. T. Barnum, in particularand draws a dark vision of a country being swallowed by its illusions of progress.Why is Dalkey Archive doing yet another edition of The ConfidenceMan? And why is it doing Melville at all? First, this edition, originally published by BobbsMerrill over forty years ago, contains remarkable annotations by H. Bruce Franklin, intended for both the general reader and the scholar. Its an edition we have long admired. More importantly, we believe that The ConfidenceMan is Americas first postmodern novelgamelike, darkly comic, and completely inventive.
