Courttia Newland

eBook, ePUB

The Gospel According to Cane (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

A very exciting new literary voice. While the author has a high profile in England, this will be his breakout book in the U.S.

Very strong candidate for literary prizes, and for the Barnes & Noble Discover Program.

Beautiful Christian and African religious imagery in the book, which touch on subjects such as motherhood, blood dreams/memories, and teaching inner-city youth in London the joy of literature.

Major media push, to a general audience, and to black-themed publications.

Academic outreach to African American Studies programs.
