Description

With language as taut as classic works by Cormac McCarthy and a richness reminiscent of early Toni Morrison, this stunning debut is set in James native Jamaica. On a day beginning with a bad omen black vultures, locally called Joh Crows, crash through the church windows a man calling himself Apostle York set pon Pastor Bligh like when you beat a mangy dog and evicts the drunken pastor. So begins a fire-and-brimstone power mongering that sets the village on a path to destruction. James combines evangelical ideas about spiritual warfare with the folk traditions of voodoo and magic, producing a transfixing blend of horror and metaphor. The result is a mesmerizing treatise on the nature of good and evil, faith and madness, guilt and forgiveness. About the Autor Marlon James was born in Kingston, Jamaica. He is the author of The Book of Night Women, which won the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and A Brief History of Seven Killings, both of which were finalists for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He currently teaches literature and creative writing at Macalester College, Minnesota, USA.
