A History of the African-American People [Proposed] by Strom Thurmond | 
pickAn epistolary novel that imagines former Sen. Strom Thurmond‘s wish (and that of his PR aide) to chronicle his part in shaping African American history in the U.S. (It‘s not a spoiler alert to say they believe he was a positive influence.) This book is totally bonkers but also makes pointed statements about the hypocrisy of Northern states condemning Southerners for racism while ignoring their own lack of commitment to civil rights.
Tamra Oh, this sounds soooooo satirically delicious! 3d
JenniferEgnor I‘m currently in SC, and the statue of Strom is still standing on the grounds at the Statehouse in Columbia…meanwhile, they continue to ban books about the roles men like him had in history. Shameful. 2d
Amiable @Tamra It‘s Percival Everett —so it‘s satirical and hysterical and thought-provoking and insane! 😄 2d
Tamra @Amiable indeed - I can only imagine! Everett is so stinking good at satire. 2d
