Description

Taboo (1921) is a comic fantasy novel by James Branch Cabell.

Set in a world where history and fantasy collide, where a lowly pawnbroker can encounter monsters, gods, and devils.

Cabell tells the story of Philistia, a country dedicated to the persecution of all manner of ill-defined vice and taboo.

Bold and satirical, this thinly veiled critique of his own, high-minded critics is essential to understanding Cabell's vision of art.

Cabell's work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago.

To read Taboo, however, is to understand that the issues therein--the struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and women--were vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. (Google)
