Book Review #34 – The Devil in America

The Devil in AmericaThe Devil in America by Kai Ashante Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is mesmerizing and heart-breaking story and i completely loved it, even though it just ripped me apart as I read it but yet beautifully told. It is a story about the evil of slavery and racism is woven together with magic and family bonds stretching back through generations. This book “The Devil In America” devastated me with it’s powerful language, orginal imagination, and bleeding-raw emotion. Wilson’s writing is masterful – hinting and suggesting to make you understand so much with his concentrated, suggestive and forceful prose.
