§
A genre-smashing collection of short stories, exploring larger themes of race, violence, and love - all told with sly humour.
Klappentext:
Established by the leaders of the country's only successful slave revolt, history casts a long shadow over its residents. Among them are David Sherman, a struggling musician who just happens to be the last son of God; Jim, a Robot Personal Helper desperate to escape the master who enslaves him; and James-my-man, who travels the path of the Underground Railroad year after year.
Not to forget the water women who lure men to their watery graves and the screecher birds who cry out for sacrificial flesh...
