Deacon King Kong (Oprah's Book Club) - Large Print by James McBride (Paperback)

Deacon King Kong is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that explores the lives of the people affected by a shooting in a Brooklyn housing project in 1969.

With a unique blend of humor, wit, and empathy, James McBride brings to life the characters caught in the tumultuous swirl of 1960s New York.

The novel delves into the reasons behind the desperate burst of violence and its consequences, revealing the deep connections between the characters and their communities.

Through the eyes of Sportcoat, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon, and the people around him, McBride shows us that love and faith live in all of us, even in the face of change and fear.

With its masterful storytelling and abiding faith in humanity, Deacon King Kong is a novel every bit as involving as The Good Lord Bird and as emotionally honest as The Color of Water.
