An extraordinary debut novel in the tradition of Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison about the generations of a family in Tennessee who are visited by the Devil
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Rickey Fayne is a fiction writer from rural west Tennessee. He holds an MA in English from Northwestern University and an MFA in Fiction from the Michener Center for Writers.
The Devil first visits Yetunde aboard a slave ship heading to America. Her home burned to ash, she lies shackled in the belly of the ship with only her dead sister's spirit for company. Worse, she has a caught the eye of a white man. To survive the hell that awaits her, the Devil offers his protection and a piece of his supernatural power. In return, Yetunde makes an incredible sacrifice.
Their bargain extends far beyond Yetunde's mortal lifespan. Over the next 175 years, the Devil visits all her descendants in their darkest hour of need. There's Lucille, a conjure woman; Asa, the white-passing son of a slave; Louis and Virgil, a twentieth-century Cain and Abel; Cassandra, a girl who speaks to the dead; James, a father struggling to keep his family together; and many others. The Devil offers each of them his own version of salvation, all the while wondering: can he save himself, too?
Steeped in the spiritual traditions and oral history of the Black diaspora, The Devil Three Times is a baptism by fire and water, heralding a new voice in fiction.
