The Sot-Weed Factor – John Barth Book

The Sot-Weed Factor (1966) by John Barth is a satirical, postmodern novel that parodies 18th-century adventure tales. It follows Ebenezer Cooke, a naive poet appointed as Maryland’s “Poet Laureate,” who embarks on a chaotic journey to claim his inheritance. Along the way, he encounters deception, political intrigue, and absurd adventures, challenging his ideals of virtue and art. The novel is known for its rich prose, metafictional elements, and humorous deconstruction of history and storytelling.
