Book Summary
Astonishing an uncommonly rich picture of Black American family life in early 20th century Jim Crow America. Publishers Weekly (starred review)This vibrant portrait of African American life in Jazz Age Kansas City captures the magic of childhood and parental love through the eyes of a remarkable boy (New York Times) This must-read rediscovery, published in an elegant and unabridged paperback edition with a new foreword, is a literary masterpiece poised to take its rightful place in the American literary canon.Such Sweet Thunder immerses readers in the life of a precocious infant, Amerigo Jones, and then tells the story of his first 18 years as he becomes aware of the adult world, from racism and crime to falling in love. All the while, in one of the most moving homages to parents ever to appear in literature, Amerigo is protected by Viola and Rutherford, who are loving and, mostly, even-tempered, but also desperately young teenagers themselves when Amerigo is born and poor.When it was finally published in 2003, 40 years after Carter completed it and 20 years after he died, Critics hailed the novels unflinching condemnation of a society that rejects bright, eager Black children (The Cleveland Plain Dealer).This colossal work of fiction (The Kansas City Star) and vibrant portrait of African-American life (New York Times) is set in an era marred by racial segregation and relentless, daily injustices and yet renders with deep appreciation and artistry a time and place enriched by a widely influential African American culture and a fierce feeling for family and community.
