"The Water Dancer meets The Prophets in this spare, gripping, and beautifully rendered novel exploring love and friendship among a group of enslaved Black strivers in the mid-nineteenth century"--
Jabari Asim is een schrijver wiens werken de sfeer van specifieke plaatsen en tijden oproepen met menselijkheid en humor. Zijn proza, dat zich vaak afspeelt in Amerikaanse gemeenschappen na het tijdperk van de burgerrechten, onderzoekt complexe relaties, raciale identiteit en menselijke veerkracht. Asims stijl wordt gekenmerkt als elegant en toch in staat om rauwe thema's met verrassende lichtheid aan te snijden, waardoor lezers worden ondergedompeld in levendige portretten van personages en hun werelden.
