James McBride: Deacon King Kong
James McBride, award -winning author, musician, and screen writer, comes to us with a body of work in which each chapter jolts us to full attention. We may know him best for The Good Lord Bird or most recently Deacon King Kong, but between those two novels, he wrote Kill ’Em and Leave, a search for the real truth behind James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, and how his myth, music and life shape our cultural awareness today.
