Descriere magazin:
From acclaimed novelist John Vercher, a profoundly moving novel of what it means to be a father, a son, a writer, and a biracial American fighting to reconcile the past Reeling from the sudden death of his teenage son, our narrator receives a letter from an attorney: he has just inherited a plot of land from his estranged grandfather. He travels to a beach town several hours south of his home with the intention of immediately selling the land. But upon inspection, what lies beneath the dirt is much more than he can process in the throes of grief. As a biracial Black man struggling with the many facets of his identity, he\'s now the owner of a former plantation passed down by the men on his white mother\'s side of the family. Vercher deftly blurs the lines between real and imagined, past and present, tragedy and humor, and fathers and sons in this story of discovery--and a fight for reclamation--of a painful past. With the wit of Paul Beatty\'s The Sellout and the nuance of Zadie Smith\'s On Beauty, Devil Is Fine is a darkly funny and brilliantly crafted dissection of the legacies we leave behind and those we inherit. FULL OF MYSTERY, MAGIC, DARK COMEDY, AND HEART. ―Deesha Philyaw AN INTIMATE NOVEL, BY TURNS BRACING AND HILARIOUS. ―Maurice Carlos Ruffin PROFOUNDLY MOVING. ―Ben Fountain THE NOVEL\'S FINAL PAGES WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS. ―Jonathan Escoffery Still reeling from a sudden tragedy, our biracial narrator receives a letter from an attorney: he has just inherited a plot of land from his estranged white grandfather. He travels to a beach town several hours south of his home with the intention of selling the land immediately and moving on. But upon inspection, what lies beneath the dirt is far more complicated than he ever imagined. In a shocking irony, he is now the Black owner of a former plantation passed down by the men on his white mother\'s side of the family. Vercher deftly blurs the lines between real and imagined, past and present, tragedy and humor, and fathers and sons in this story of discovering and reclaiming a painful past. With the wit and rawness of Paul Beatty\'s The Sellout, Devil Is Fine is a gripping, surreal, and brilliantly crafted dissection of the legacies we leave behind and those we inherit. Named an IndieNext pick, featured in the LA Times, The Root, and the Chicago Review of Books. Longlisted for the Aspen Words Literary Prize and honored as one of TIME Magazine\'s 100 Must-Read Books of 2024. Still reeling from a<
