Aprašymas

In a lyrical style reminiscent of Edward P. Jones and Rion Amlicar Scott, debut author A. Rafael Johnson navigates the strange and dangerous magic of Okahika, a black ghost town that exists somewhere between Alabama and the other-world of flying slave ships and mothers back from the dead. This narrative interrogates blackness in the New South, including the ways in which it is haunted and revisited by the old. It also engages with love and trauma, exploring how we keep ourselves hidden and allow ourselves to know each other in our most intimate relationships. Jeffrey Renard Allen describes The Through as “a novel about the hidden universes of being, a richly rewarding book that shows us how history is just above our heads, and the future is just under our feet, if we know how to look.”
