Available September 2026: "The Occidental Book of the Dead"

George Washington Jonson is a Black cop in Atlanta, Georgia.

In 2005 he is out on patrol with his young white trainee, Utner, when a split-second confrontation with a white teenage suspect takes a violent turn – and Utner shoots the teenager dead. The city is thrown into chaos, and order must be restored.

So far, so Hollywood.

But then, a dizzying somersault in the novel’s structure upends the narrative and begins an even darker, more complicated and provocative story about racism, power and corruption – building to an unforgettable portrait of a nation divided.

“Micro-aggression—The plastic gun of racism; you can sneak this one through security most of the time because it is comprised of nonracist ways of being racist, nonsexist ways of being sexist, and the like. E.g., You’re not like other BLANK people, or, You speak English very well.”
