Paul Metcalf enjoys a cult status among American writers-his death was eulogized by the New York Times, while still acknowledging that his work had failed to find a mainstream audience-the reissue of Genoa offers an opportunity to remedy that.

Metcalf's work has been hugely, if quietly, influential, and he counts Don DeLillo, William Gass, and Guy Davenport among his fans. Younger writers are now discovering him as well, and Genoa is perhaps the best example of both the Metcalf style, as well as the clearest link back to his lineage.

Moby Dick is an object of fascination-a Kickstarter last month to raise funds for a marathon reading in NY surpassed its stretch goals twice-and Metcalf's direct address of Melville, as well as his status as his great-grandson, ties directly into that interest.

Genoa is a remarkable, only-in-America work. From Columbus to Melville to midcentury small town life, it tracks the burdens and mythologies of our self-aggrandizement and -abnegation.
