MacLeod Andrews performs David Joy’s riveting novel set in the mountains of western North Carolina in 2019. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s contributor Kendra Winchester discuss this literary crime novel about Toya, a young Black artist from Atlanta who returns to her grandmother’s Appalachian town to learn more about her family’s history. When she discovers a Confederate statue in town, she calls for its removal. At the same time, a white deputy discovers a list of high-ranking members of the Klan. Andrews captures the rising tension as these two characters become hopelessly intertwined.
