Description
Fiction. African-American Studies. This stunning debut novel tells the story of a biblical struggle in a remote Jamaican village in 1957. With language as taut as classic works by Cormac McCarthy, and a richness reminiscent of early Toni Morrison, Marlon James reveals his unique narrative command that will firmly establish his place as one of today's freshest, most talented young writers. Set in the village of Gibbeah, were magic coexists with religion and good and evil are never as they seem, JOHN CROW'S DEVIL is a novel about religious mania, redemption, sexual obsession, and the eternal struggle inside all of us between the righteous and the wicked. - from Amzon
