Combined for the First Time. John Kendrick Bang's Hilarious Books A House-Boat on the Styx and The Pursuit of the House-Boat. Where do the "immortal" poets, writers, generals and scientists go to spend eternity? It turns out they gather in a gentleman's club, on a houseboat, on the River Styx-the dividing line between earth and hell. There they can discuss poetry, social theory, and the arts.
