Let the Dead Bury Their Dead - Randall Kenan

These 12 stories--at once down to earth and fantastical, tragic and hilarious--are about blacks and whites, young and old, rich and poor, rural and sophisticated. He (Kenen) weaves myth, folktales, magic and reality like no one else I know.--Terry McMillan, author of Waiting to Exhale. A New York Times Notable Book.

nSet in North Carolina, these are stories about blacks and whites, young and old, rural and sophisticated, the real and fantastical. Named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, nominated for the 1992 National Book Critics Circle Award, and given the Lambda Award. n
