Growing up Black in rural North Carolina, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. But Ray has a gift and a dream—he’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music.

Great Story.
Revisado: 08-10-22
I loved this book. It told a great story. Every character was interesting. The readers were excellent . I highly recommend it. I belong to a National bookclub. We read a different book each month and rate it. We have an annual authors award weekend every year. I’m sure this author will be on our honors list.

In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and, in front of everybody, shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong, James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird.

Incredible Writing
Revisado: 07-26-20
I loved the book . I'm amazed at the minds of writers and how they come up with these story lines. I was able to connect the characters and their parts in the story. Most of my questions were answered by the end of the book. My hardest struggle was remembering who was who when a name would come back into the story who hadn't been mentioned in a chapter or two. But it wouldn't take to long to say oh yeah I remember who that is.

So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that.
