 Deacon King Kong

by James McBride

PenguinRandomHouse


     Why Deacon King Kong, aka Sportcoat, shoots a young man whom he clearly loved and had tried to save with baseball, is only one of the compelling mysteries in this great book. All of the questions come to be seen as revolving around love, hope and change - for the wonderful, disparate characters McBride brings to credible life.  Not to be missed.


If you would like to know more about this book, or purchase it, please check with your local independent bookstore or this very good place bookshop.org .
