Review:
No Bio
"Brutal, spectacular, discursive, academic, dense, polemic and, ultimately, brilliant. Certainly the most important piece of fiction I've read so far this year, perhaps the most significant work by a new male black author since James Baldwin dazzled the early '60s with his fine fury." -- "Los Angeles Times""David Bradley's "The Chaneysville Incident" now may be placed on the honor shelf, right next to Ellison's "[Invisible Man]." It is even more powerful, for its power is asserted on several levels: a contemporary novel enriched by historic and mythic appointments, and finally made tragic by them." -- "Fort Worth Star-Telegram""So strikingly original, so shockingly powerful . . . a book which will have a remarkable effect on generations to come." -- "Detroit News""Beautifully rendered and wildly adventurous."-- "New York Times Book Review"""The Chaneysville Incident rivals Toni Morrison's "Son of Solomon as the best novel about the black experience in America since Ellison's "Invisible Man."-- "Christian Science Monitor
