Riassunto:

Established by the leaders of the country s only successful slave revolt in the mid-nineteenth century, Cross River still evokes the fierce rhythms of its founding. In lyrical prose and singular dialect, a saga beats forward that echoes the fables carried down for generations like the screecher birds who swoop down for their periodic sacrifice, and the water women who lure men to wet deaths.Among its residents wildly spanning decades, perspectives, and species are David Sherman, a struggling musician who just happens to be God s last son; Tyrone, a ruthless PhD candidate, whose dissertation about a childhood game ignites mayhem in the neighboring, once-segregated town of Port Yooga; and Jim, an all-too-obedient robot who serves his Master. As the book builds to its finish with Special Topics in Loneliness Studies, a fully-realized novella, two unhinged professors grapple with hugely different ambitions, and the reader comes to appreciate the intricacy of the world Scott has created one where fantasy and reality are eternally at war.The World Doesn t Require You
