A propos de cet article

William Demby, author of the now classic novels "Beetlecreek (1950)," "The Catacombs (1965)," "Love Story Black (1978)" and "Blue Boy (1980)," has been called the greatest neglected African-American writer of the 20th century. At long last, this publication of "King Comus," a novel completed shortly before his death in 2013, caps his already great literary achievements with a work that may well come to be considered his masterpiece. In "King Comus," the path to freedom of a master musician and escaped slave, known as King Comus, converges with two African American World War II servicemen, their white commanding officer and a black female gospel singer. King Comus fabled journey across continents and centuries is narrated, in part, by his descendant Tillman, a World War II GI serving in Italy. Tillman relates his family s history to a fellow serviceman named D., whose role in this mysterious tale includes some parallels to the author s life story. When the plotline turns to the twenty-first century, these veterans unite in Italy with their white commanding officer, Joe Stabat, to stage a colossal global gospel summit in Rome, featuring the gospel star, Little Antioch. "King Comus" weaves elements of the neo-slave narrative and Afrofuturism into a panoramic vision encompassing the forces of empire, race, gender, and religion. It is a time-bending tale of survival and kinship.
