Dugan Under Ground
Book Three of the Funny Papers Trilogy, De Haven’s dazzling tour of twentieth-century America. In 1967, the Summer of Love, Roy Looby, a gifted young cartoonist, deserts his mentor and joins the drop-outs of San Francisco's Haight Ashbury. There Looby creates "The Imp Eugene," a libidinous comic book character who is a far cry from his mentor's signature figure, Derby Dugan—the cheerful icon of a more optimistic generation. Celebrated and vilified for his creation, Looby soon disappears, rumored to have lost his mind during the drug-fueled creation of a cartoon masterpiece, and it's to his long-suffering brother, Nick, to find him. A long, strange trip across a wildly changing America, DUGAN UNDER GROUND is a rich, inventive tale celebrating the mythic qualities of American popular culture.

End of Everything Man
Tom De Haven's work “combines a soaring imagination, a gift for character acting, a curiosity for lives he could not live.” —The Washington Post THE STUNNING SEQUEL TO WALKER OF WORLDS! The Order of Things has been fulfilled. Jack, the King’s Tramp, has returned to his native world of Lostwithal. With his witnesses from Kemolo—our Earth—he has warned the King about the coming Epicene. Actions can now be taken to stop chaos from overwhelming the universes. But can they? The Mage of Four has spirited the Epicene off to some distant place in Lostwithal. Neither can be found. If the Mage cannot be stopped, the Epicene will fulfill the awful purpose for which it was born. Plots and problems grow still more complex.
