Update ~~Washington Black
by Esi Edugyan
An improbable, epic adventure, Washington Black follows field-turned-house slave “Wash” through life and its incredible journey. Wash gets his freedom early on but lives with the echoes of slavery. He’s the likely culprit for the death of a man, and flees Barbados with his master’s brother in a hot-air balloon. Tracked by a bounty hunter and never fully free, Esi Edugyan’s third book explores the tension between slavery and freedom, oppression and possibility. The series based on the book comes to Hulu in 2025.
