At its epicenter are two competing forces. One is Chanté's upbringing in the splendor, density, rhythms, and madness of Bronx, NY, including the murder of Chante's neighbor, Deborah Danner, killed by a police officer during his break-in. The other is Reid's academic life at Brown University, where she is completing a critical thesis on Toni Morrison's book, Beloved. Its characters--Sethe, Denver, Margeret Garner--wind in and out of the conversation, as do the Medea and Narcissus of Greek myths. \u003ci\u003eThot \u003c\/i\u003eis a thrilling cacophony, a highly original mix of genre and voice, sure to please readers in search of something startling and new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956046113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Chant\u0026#233; Reid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42342694813877,"sku":"9781956046113","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3d0ba2ec-44cd-4e04-86e9-2625d0f1bb29.jpg?v=1661262776","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thot-9781956046113","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
