Devil Is Fine [electronic resource] : A Novel. John Vercher.
This program is read by award-winning narrator Dion Graham. " Devil Is Fine is self-deprecatingly tender, often bracingly hilarious, and at its heart is a runaway train through the haunted house of us. And I loved it. Don't miss it." —Dion Graham From acclaimed novelist John Vercher, a profoundly moving novel of what it means to be a father, a son, a writer, and a biracial American fighting to reconcile the past Reeling from the sudden death of his teenage son, our narrator receives a letter from an attorney: he has just inherited a plot of land from his estranged grandfather. He travels to a beach town several hours south of his home with the intention of immediately selling the land. But upon inspection, what lies beneath the dirt is much more than he can process in the throes of grief. As a biracial Black man struggling with the many facets of his identity, he's now the owner of a former plantation passed down by the men on his white mother's side of the family. Vercher deftly blurs the lines between real and imagined, past and present, tragedy and humor, and fathers and sons in this story of discovery—and a fight for reclamation—of a painful past. With the wit of Paul Beatty's The Sellout and the nuance of Zadie Smith's On Beauty , Devil Is Fine is a darkly funny and brilliantly crafted dissection of the legacies we leave behind and those we inherit. A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.
