DEVIL IS FINE

Acclaimed narrator Dion Graham performs this dynamic, artfully crafted novel about a biracial author/academic who becomes the owner of a plantation on the Delmarva Peninsula after the death of his son. This work of literary fiction morphs back and forth from reality to fantasy, from tragedy to dark humor, from past trauma to present emotional upheavals. Graham's voice is well suited to its troubled, talented, and complicated protagonist. The voice we hear is African American, educated, and passionate. Graham animates many memorable characters, including the biracial bartender, the infuriating college dean, the recalcitrant teenage son. This literary gem is about legacies--not only about what's received but about what each of us leaves behind. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2024]
