I loved your summary of The Good Lord Bird. I read it this year and was confounded a bit by the fact that I was totally entertained! The irreverence about a topic like abolition and figures like John Brown and Fredrick Douglas was interesting and I’m still trying to understand exactly what McBride wanted to say.
I went on to read Deacon King Kong later this year and absolutely loved it. McBride is definitely an entertaining writer and I look forward to reading his new book as well.
I hadn’t heard of Bleeding Edge but am adding to my TBR and will pick up when I need a challenge. Thanks!
