From the bestselling, award-winning author of Bad Land comes a powerful novel set in Seattle in 1999, a city troubled by rioting anarchists, vanishing children, and the discovery of an al-Qaeda operative. “A tour de force.” —The Washington Post Book World Jonathan Raban’s powerful novel is set in Seattle at the height of its infatuation with the virtual. It’s a place that attracts immigrants. One of these is Tom Janeway, a bookish Hungarian-born Englishman who makes his living commenting on American mores on NPR. Another, who calls himself Chick, is a frenetically industrious illegal alien from China who makes his living any way he can. Through a series of extraordinary but chillingly plausible events, the paths of these newcomers converge. Tom is uprooted from his marriage and must learn to father his endearing eight-year old son part-time. Chick claws his way up from exploited to exploiter. Meanwhile Seattle is a city on the brink. Savage and tender, visionary and addictively entertaining, Waxwings is a major achievement.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

At the turn of the millennium, two immigrants are drawn to the United States by their own versions of the American Dream. For Tom Janeway - a Hungarian-born English intellectual most at home with his books - it's the family he thought he'd never have. For Chick - an illegal alien newly escaped from a cargo container - it's the land of plenty he imagined back in China. But as the stock market hits a new high, anti-globalist riots break out in the streets, a terrorist is arrested and a child disappears, the two men's dreams collide in a way neither could have anticipated. Unjustly accused of a horrific crime, estranged from his wife and his beloved young son, Tom's life is rapidly unravelling. Chick, meanwhile, has a burgeoning business by day but no safe place to lay his bed at night. For both, the New World proves surprisingly full of old ways. Moving, funny and hugely entertaining, Jonathan Raban's Waxwings brilliantly captures the landscape and life of contemporary America.

Excerpt from A Few Notes on the Habits, Life History and Economic Value of Doves: The Raising of Young Waxwings, Ampeles Cedrorum W. E. D. Scott in the Auk, Vol. IV, 1887, gives a terrible account of the wiping out of the beautiful American Egret. Years ago, in Florida, there were prairies white with the birds, and even many of the adjoining islands were alive with Egrets. But what do we find now? Miles and miles of shore with perhaps a single solitary bird. These birds were killed by the hundreds of thousands annually; and the same may be said of its smaller cousin, the Snowy Egret, which, at one time abundant all through the Gulf States, is now all but extinct. Here the bull 's-eye for every hunter was the beautiful bunch of snow-white aigrettes. F. M. Chapman (birds of Eastern North America states I have heard a plume hunter boast of killing 300 herons in a rookery in one afternoon. Another proudly stated that he and his companions had killed - Herons, Egrets and Terns during one winter.
