The Vain Conversation A Novel【電子書籍】[ Anthony Grooms ]
<p><strong>"A real-life racially motivated mass killing from 1946 is boldly and deeply reimagined [in this] incisive, gripping and empathetic novel" ( <em>Kirkus</em>, starred review).</strong><br /> Inspired by true events, <em>The Vain Conversation</em> reflects on the 1946 lynching of two black couples in Georgia from the perspectives of three charactersーBertrand Johnson, one of the victims; Noland Jacks, a presumed perpetrator; and Lonnie Henson, a witness to the murders as a ten-year-old boy. Lonnie's inexplicable feelings of culpability drive him in a search for meaning that takes him around the world, and ultimately back to Georgia, where he must confront both Jacks and his own demons.<br /> In this stirring and incisive narrative, Anthony Grooms seeks to advance the national dialogue on race relations. With complexity, satire, and surprising moments of levity, he explores what it means to redeem and be redeemed. Deeply probing the issues of American race violence, <em>The Vain Conversation</em> also speaks to the broader issues of oppression and violence everywhere.<br /> <strong>Foreword by poet, painter, and novelist Clarence Major.</strong><br /> <strong>Afterward by bestselling author T. Geronimo Johnson.</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
