Tintin in the New World - Softcover

Frederic Tuten grabs Tintin by his quiff, yanks him out of his celibacy, life and innocence and drops him into sex, death, and experience... Wildly inventive... Tintin in the New World is a serious novel hiding behind a comic book conceit. --The Times

Tuten s novel offers the reader a pleasure no less keen than that of Herge s comic albums, although of an entirely different genre. It is a pleasure of the mind, not easily come to, but absolutely worth it once you are there: the pleasure, I suppose, of coming to a new world. --The Believer

This strange and memorable novel... its strength lies in its extraordinary use of language, which combines fastidious exactness with a bizarre yet persuasive dreamlike quality. --Jonathan Coe, London Review of Books

Summoned to Machu Picchu, accompanied by Captain Haddock and Snowy, Tintin embarks on an adventure that will introduce him to the woman he will love, and come to realise that he has the power to become one with all living things.
