In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .45 from his pocket, and in front of everybody shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong, James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird. In Deacon King Kong, McBride brings to vivid life the people affected by the shooting: the victim, the African-American and Latinx residents who witnessed it, the white neighbors, the local cops assigned to investigate, the members of the Five Ends Baptist Church where Sportcoat was deacon, the neighborhood's Italian mobsters, and Sportcoat himself. As the story deepens, it becomes clear that the lives of the characters--caught in the tumultuous swirl of 1960s New York--overlap in unexpected ways. When the truth does emerge, McBride shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, that the best way to grow is to face change without fear, and that the seeds of love lie in hope and compassion. Bringing to these pages both his masterly storytelling skills and his abiding faith in humanity, James McBride has written a novel every bit as involving as The Good Lord Bird and as emotionally honest as The Color of Water. Told with insight and wit, Deacon King Kong demonstrates that love and faith live in all of us"-- $c Provided by publisher 505 00 $t Beautiful. $t A dead man -- $t Jet -- $t Running off -- $t The Governor -- $t Bunch -- $t The March of the ants -- $t The dig -- $t Dirt -- $t Soup -- $t Pokeweed -- $t Mojo -- $t The country girl -- $t Rat -- $t You have no idea what's coming -- $t May God hold you ... -- $t Harold -- $t Investigation -- $t Double-crossed -- $t Plant man -- $t New dirt -- $t 281 Delphi -- $t Last Octobers -- $t Sister Paul -- $t Do -- $t Beautiful. 586 $a Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, 2021 Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug dealers $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Deacons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Neighborhoods $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Public housing $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Clergy. 651 1 $a New York (N.Y.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 12 $a Drug Trafficking 650 12 $a Homicide 650 22 $a Clergy 650 6 $a Trafiquants de drogues $x Crimes contre $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Diacres $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Logement social $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a New York (N.Y.) $x MÅurs et coutumes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a ClergeÌ. 650 7 $a clergy. $2 aat 650 7 $a FICTION $x Historical. $x Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864014 650 7 $a Deacons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888378 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Neighborhoods. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01715963 650 7 $a Public housing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082447 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 7 $a Drug traffic $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Neighborhood $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Homicide $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Deacons $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a New York (N.Y.) $x History $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a History fiction. 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a novels. $2 aat 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a McBride, James, 1957- $t Deacon King kong. $d New York : Riverhead Books, 2020 $z 9780735216747 $w (DLC) 2019045147 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230731080205.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EFD7DA642F9D11EE882E4CA0213FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
