Loading... Naming the New World: A Novelby Calvin Baker
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. No reviews no reviews | add a review
The river of the black experience is the central metaphor for Baker's accomplished debut novel. Structured as a multi-generational saga both epic in scale and style, it follows the lives of Ampofo, brought as cargo to America; Sally, enslaved as a breeder of slaves; Thomas, the Master's banished son, and Brenndan, imprisoned and sentenced to die. Inventive, magnetic, poetic, and haunting, Baker's taut lyrical storytelling heralds the arrival of a major new voice in American literature. No library descriptions found. |
