Novelists have long understood the literary merits of Pym and often modeled their own books after its example. Jules Verne was inspired to write a sequel to Poes novel, The Sphinx of the Ice Realm and Henry James found the title for The Golden Bowl by reading Pym. John Barth reread Pym in the spirit of Italo Calvinos The Castle of Crossed Destinies, and Borges considered the novel to be Poes greatest work. Melville had Pym in mind as one model for Ishmaels epistemology in MobyDick. Charles Romyn Dake published his sequel to Pym in the last year of the nineteenth century in 2011, Mat Johnson based his satire on race in America, Pym A Novel, on Poes novel.
