Sobre este artículo
Good rating is entirely due to being an ex-library copy. Pictures show all library markings aside from small remainder mark on upper text block. Binding is tight. Spine is straight. Pages are unmarked aside from library markings shown in photos. Signed by James in San Francisco at City Arts and Lectures while on his book tour promoting Black Leopard, Red Wolf.
Sinopsis
This stunning debut novel tells the story of a biblical struggle in a remote Jamaican village in 1957. In the village of Gibbeah—where certain women fly and certain men protect secrets with their lives—magic coexists with religion, and good and evil are never as they seem. In this town, a battle is fought between two men of God. The story begins when a drunkard named Hector Bligh (the "Rum Preacher") is dragged from his pulpit by a man calling himself "Apostle" York. Handsome and brash, York demands a fire-and-brimstone church, but sets in motion a phenomenal and deadly struggle for the soul of Gibbeah itself. John Crow's Devil is a novel about religious mania, redemption, sexual obsession, and the eternal struggle inside all of us between the righteous and the wicked.
