Krátky popis
'Set to become a publishing sensation' Kirsty Lang, BBC Front
Row'An astounding achievement' Sunday Times'The lost giant of
American literature' New Yorker'Absolutely essential reading'
StylistJune, 1957. One afternoon, in the backwater town of Sutton,
a young black farmer by the name of Tucker Caliban matter-of-factly
throws salt on his field, shoots his horse and livestock, sets fire
to his house and departs the southern state. And thereafter, the
entire African-American population leave with him.The reaction that
follows is told across a dozen chapters, each from the perspective
of a different white townsperson. These are boys, girls, men and
women, either liberal or conservative, bigoted or sympathetic - yet
all of whom are grappling with this spontaneous, collective
rejection of subordination. In 1962, aged just 24, William Melvin
Kelley's debut novel A Different Drummer earned him critical
comparisons to James Baldwin and William Faulkner.Fifty-five years
later, author and journalist Kathryn Schulz happened upon the novel
serendipitously and was inspired to write the New Yorker article
'The Lost Giant of American Literature', included as a foreword to
this edition.
