Claiming that this is the true narrative of a sea voyage by Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, Edgar Allen Poe records the strange, unbelievable events aboard the ship Grampus in 1827 and on a voyage of discovery to the Antarctic six months later. Published in 1838, Poe's fictionalized narrative, supposedly penned by Pym, a young man from Nantucket, describes Pym's experiences beginning in July, 1827. Stowed away in the hold of the ship and aided by his friend Augustus Barnard, whose father is captain of the Grampus, Pym endures more than a week alone and in almost total darkness before he discovers that a mutiny has occurred onboard.Macabre details of ghastly deaths and unrelieved bloodlust, the massacre of the crew, and the casting adrift of the captain presage even more gory events. A countermutiny, equally bloody, leaves only four men alive on the Grampus. A gale, a gruesome death ship which passes them, circling sharks, and additional deaths leave only two men alive when the brig capsizes.The second half of the account details the trip of discovery taken by Pym and the other survivor, along with an English crew from a passing ship, south to the "Antarctic Sea," a voyage in which they go "more than eight degrees farther south than any previous navigators." On this journey they encounter a monstrous "Arctic bear," more than 15 feet long, a cat-like animal with red teeth and claws, warm water with Galapagos tortoises, a series of islands inhabited by canoe-paddling natives, the Aurora Borealis, hot and milky water, white ashy showers, and a huge human figure in white, not the sights reported by later Antarctic explorers.Poe's only novel, in the romantic tradition of sea adventures, presages the publication of Melville's Typee, which is a true story. In this case, Poe plays with the reader's sense of reality, claiming that his fictional narrative is true and that the fictional Pym had "refused" to publish it because he thought no one would believe his tale. Ironies abound, matched only by the romantic embellishments and imaginative "discoveries" in Antarctica that make this fast-paced narrative as full of tense drama as any soap opera. The abrupt "conclusion" remains ironically inconclusive. Breathless excitement and near death experiences, combined with mystical visions and inexplicable events, make this exciting narrative fun to read. Mary Whipple

This was Poe's only full length novel, and its episodic nature and very abrupt ending seems to indicate he was probably right to focus on short stories, of which he is in my view one of the prime exponents. This is a long-winded story of shipwrecks, storms, cannibalism, burial alive (of course), and exploring new lands at the southern extremity of the world. The book's abrupt end seems to come when the narrator and his sole surviving shipmate are about to discover a mystery near the south pole, that is held to be a vindication of the "hollow Earth" theory, which still had some traction in the early 19th century when exploration of the polar regions was still in its relative infancy. This story is a curiosity rather than anything else.

My opinion of this, Poe's only attempt at a novel is somewhat split. On the one hand, quite an entertaining nautical romance well in keeping with 19th century tradition. On the other hand however, it also seems to presuppose that the reader has a great proficency in nautical terminology and navigation, positively bombarding you with coordinates and archaic sailing lingo.With that in mind it is safe to say that I enjoyed Gordon Pym far more when it was in high seas adventure mode, and a lot less when it was in dry pseudo-autobiography sailing manual want to stab my own eyes out mode.Aside from that, an obvious disclaimer comes to mind, and that is that it is horribly racist. Being not unacquainted with 19th century adventure novels, this didn't neccessarily come as a surprise to me, but Poe definitely lays it on a lot thicker than contemporaries and near contemporaries of his, so do keep that in mind before reading it.As for the (non) ending (no spoilers), it is incredibly abrupt and left me a tad perplexed, but in a good way that encourages the mind to wander and fill in the blanks itself, which happens to be one of my favourite kinds of ending. Don't show, don't tell if you will.All in all, I'd say that despite its shortcomings it is definitely worth the read. Just keep in mind that it is a definite product of its time, and (you've been warned) don't be surprised if once in a while Poe decides he must dedicate six pages to why you totally need to know the history of this particular clump of islands nobody cares about, or the correct method by which you MUST secure your cargo on pain of death!
