The Resource Edugyan, Esi

Description: Two-time Giller Prize winner Esi Edugyan's fiction jumps between the past and the present, mingling the two until the reader feels able to transcend time itself. Her writing is vivid, lyrical, and evocative; her sentences are precise and carefully crafted. This literary tone is frequently spliced with coarse, vernacular banter. Edugyan is concerned about the experiences of black people trapped in unusual, hostile situations. Her mood is often menacing and uncomfortable, the threat of actual physical danger just around the corner. Readers care about her fully realized characters and feel their discomfort almost as keenly as they do. Start with: Washington Black
