Devil is fine / John Vercher. by Vercher, John. Celadon Books, 2024. Call #: FICTION VER Subjects Fathers and sons -- Fiction.   Sons -- Death -- Fiction.   Grief -- Fiction.   Identity (Psychology) -- Fiction.   Racially mixed families -- Fiction.   Inheritance and succession -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781250894489 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  262 p. ; 25 cm. Summary:  "Our narrator is haunted. Haunted by panic attacks, a failed relationship, alcoholism, an academic career that wants to define him by his Blackness, and the trauma of the recent death of his 17-year-old son, Malcolm. When a letter arrives informing him that his maternal grandfather has left Malcolm a plot of land, our narrator leaves his life behind and heads to the seaside of the Northeast, where his identity is shaken by the dark and haunting secret that lies beneath this inherited land. With the wit of Paul Beatty's The Sellout and the nuance of Zadie Smith's On Beauty, author John Vercher's Devil is Fine is an emotional account of what it is to be a father, a son, a writer, and a biracial American fighting to reconcile freedom and creativity with the footprint of colonialism. Gripping, surrealist, and darkly funny, Devil is Fine is a brilliantly-crafted dissection of the legacies we leave behind, and those we inherit"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Black fiction.
