«Tintin in the New World» is the adventure and fantasy novel by Frederic Tuten, published by Riverhead Trade in paperback (239 pages, in English).
Frederic Tuten takes Hergé's famous character on an adult adventure: after travelling through Yucatán, Tibet, the South Seas and even the Moon, Tintin now explores the dark geography of his own mind. Subtitled «a romance», the novel blends popular culture and classical literature in a world far from the original comic.
Originally published in 1993, this paperback edition from Riverhead Trade appeared in 1996; The New York Times chose it as a Notable Book of 1995.
For adults interested in the literary reinvention of comic characters, with nods to popular culture and classical literature.
