The Known World by Edward P. Jones (Pulitzer Prize) Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:06:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just to make up for my negative review of a Pulitzer Prize winning book, I am going to give an A++++ review for a different Pulitzer Prize for fiction; The Known World, by Edward P. Johnson. I could not put this one down (link below):
"One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, The Known World is a daring and ambitious work by Pulitzer Prize winner Edward P. Jones.
The Known World tells the story of Henry Townsend, a black farmer and former slave who falls under the tutelage of William Robbins, the most powerful man in Manchester County, Virginia. Making certain he never circumvents the law, Townsend runs his affairs with unusual discipline. But when death takes him unexpectedly, his widow, Caldonia, can't uphold the estate's order, and chaos ensues. Jones has woven a footnote of history into an epic that takes an unflinching look at slavery in all its moral complexities."
