A man is decapitated in a car accident, then astonishingly comes back to life in this experimental, satirical, bizarre, and oddly funny novel, which lampoons the press, religion, academia, and contemporary culture.
Percival Everett's The Book of Training by Colonel Hap Thompson of Roanoke, VA, 1843, Annotated From the Library of John C. Calhoun, is poetry within the harsh confines of a mock historical document-a guidebook for the American slave owner. The collection features lists of instructions for buying, training, and punishing, equations for calculating present and future profits, and handwritten annotations affirming the brutal contents. The Book of Training lays bare the mechanics of the peculiar institution of slavery and challenges readers to place themselves in the uncomfortable vantage point of those who have bought and enslaved human beings.
Percival Everett enriches the ranks of Chris Abani's Black Goat poetry series.
Training horses is dangerous - a head-to-head confrontation with 1,000 pounds of muscle takes courage. Highly praised for his storytelling and ability to address the toughest issues of our time with a touching originality, Everett offers a brilliant novel that explores a divided America.
