A History of the African-American People (Proposed) by Strom Thurmond [CloudLibrary] : A Novel / Thurmond, Strom. [S.l. : Akashic Books, 2013. 1 online resource. 324 p. Electronic book. "A truly funny sendup of the corrupt politics of academe, the publishing industry and politics, as well as a subtle but biting critique of racial ideology." —Publishers WeeklyThis "hilarious high-concept satire" (Publishers Weekly), by the PEN/Faulkner finalist and acclaimed author of Telephone and Erasure, is a fictitious and satirical chronicle of South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond's desire to pen a history of African-Americans—his and his aides' belief being that he has done as much, or more, than any American to shape that history. An epistolary novel, The History follows the letters of loose cannon Congressional office workers, insane interns at a large New York publishing house and disturbed publishing executives, along with homicidal rival editors, kindly family friends, and an aspiring author named Septic. Strom Thurmond appears charming and open, mad and sure of his place in American history."Outrageously funny . . . it could become a cult classic." —Library Journal"I think Percival Everett is a genius. I've been a fan since his first novel . . . He's a brilliant writer and so damn smart I envy him." —Terry McMillan, New York Times-bestselling author of It's Not All Downhill from Here"God bless Percival Everett, whose dozens of idiosyncratic books demonstrate a majestic indifference to literary trends, the market or his critics."?The Wall Street Journal.
