“For now, they were just two men, the Godfather of Soul and the King of Pop. They had lived their fantastic lives alone, on the third rail of fame and fortune, even as they electrified and changed the world. One lay in a gold-plated coffin; in less than three years, the other would be lying in his own. It would be the end of an era. And black America has never been the same.”

One of the things I love so much about James McBride's writing is how he's able to bring environments to life, painting a whole history and character into the surroundings. One of my favorite examples is the opening bit of Chapter 10, which almost feels like the location was introduced the way you might a character.
