The debut novel of the winner of the Man Booker Prize 2015Jamaica, 1957On a day beginning with a bad omen - black vultures, known locally as John Crows, crash through the local church windows - a handsome and charismatic stranger drags the village preacher from his pulpit and takes over both church and congregation. Promising vengeance and damnation, he wastes no time delivering both, and in doing so starts a power struggle that sets the village of Gibbeah on a path to destruction. With language as taut as classic works by Cormac McCarthy, and a richness reminiscent of early Toni Morrison, John Crow's Devil is a terrifying and moving novel about religious mania, redemption, sexual obsession and the eternal struggle between the righteous and the wicked.

Cr�ticas:

'Feels contemporary and necessary, exploring how religion can be used as justification for mankind's deepest urges'. * Press Association * 'A relentless excavation of an isolated village in which sex, violence and Jesus form a combustible trinity of catalysts and salves'. * New Statesman * `Dense, lyrical and richly over the top'. * Sunday Times * 'Introduces us to his extraordinary talent...James jumps effortlessly between cut-glass English that would not disgrace Jane Austen, and the ripe, flexible, witty language of his childhood. Superb'. * The Times * 'James's slice of Caribbean gothic has terrific power and verve: it's quite a debut'. * Financial Times * 'John Crow's Devil is undoubtedly breathtaking for its imagination and its storytelling'. * Independent * `A powerful first novel ... Writing with assurance and control, James uses his small-town drama to suggest the larger anguish of a postcolonial society struggling for its own identity.' * New York Times Book Review * `A writer whose importance can scarcely be questioned.' * Independent *

Descripci�n Paperback. Condici�n: new. Paperback. 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. The award-winning debut from the critically-acclaimed author of A Brief History of Seven Killings Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
