‘Honorée Fanonne Jeffers brengt met haar eerste roman een familielijn tot leven waarin ze racisme, seksisme en klassisme uitdiept. Hieronder ligt een feministische ruggengraat die niet te missen is, zonder dat het er te dik bovenop ligt. Jeffers heeft geen letter te veel geschreven.’ Het Parool Een meeslepende, epische familieroman, waarin een jonge vrouw haar plaats in de wereld probeert te vinden door haar familieverleden te onderzoeken Een indrukwekkend en aangrijpend literair portret van Amerika door de eeuwen heen – Jeffers neemt de lezer mee door de geschiedenis van de slavernij en laat zien hoe die doorwerkt in het heden W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963), de beroemde academicus en mensenrechtenactivist, wijdde zijn leven en werk aan het tegengaan van rassendiscriminatie. Rond 1900 muntte hij de term ‘het dubbele bewustzijn’: de gevoeligheid van onderdrukten om zichzelf te zien door de ogen van de onderdrukker – een overlevingsmechanisme. Ailey Pearl Garfield begrijpt de woorden van W.E.B. Du Bois maar al te goed. Ze draagt de namen van twee gerespecteerde Zwarte Amerikanen – de choreograaf Alvin Ailey en haar overgrootmoeder Pearl, een afstammeling van tot slaaf gemaakten en pachtboeren. Ze groeit echter op in een voornamelijk witte omgeving, in een stad in het noorden van de VS. De zomers brengt ze door in het kleine plaatsje Chicasetta in Georgia, waar de familie van haar moeder woont sinds hun voorouders uit Afrika werden meegenomen. Van jongs af aan vecht Ailey om erbij te horen, wat des te moeilijker is door een onverwerkt trauma en de hoge verwachtingen van haar familie. De wens om te slagen in het leven, dat wat haar moeder, zus en haar voormoeders uit de afgelopen twee eeuwen niet is gelukt, drukt zwaar op haar schouders. Om haar eigen identiteit te kunnen omarmen, begint Ailey aan een reis door het verleden van haar familie en onthult ze de schokkende verhalen van generaties voorouders in het diepe zuiden. Deze reis biedt haar inzicht in haar eigen geschiedenis: een erfenis van onderdrukking en verzet, gebondenheid en onafhankelijkheid, wreedheid en veerkracht. Het verhaal van Amerika zelf. In de pers ‘De liefdesliederen van W.E.B. Du Bois is gewoonweg het beste boek dat ik in een heel, heel lange tijd heb gelezen. Een wijze vriend vertelde me ooit het kenmerk van een geweldige roman: de auteur creëert een wereld en wanneer ze haar handen weghaalt, is deze wereld nog steeds in beweging. In de allerbeste romans wordt elk detail zo liefdevol behandeld dat de intentie van de auteur zo onzichtbaar en sterk is als zwaartekracht. De liefdesliederen van W.E.B. Du Bois is zo’n wereld. Lang nadat je de laatste regel hebt gelezen, blijft het universum van Ailey Pearl Garfield draaien.’ The New York Times ‘De liefdesliederen van W.E.B. Du Bois is een briljant epos zoals je dat maar eens in de tien jaar tegenkomt. Met zijn diepe intelligentie en uitgestrekte visie is deze roman simpelweg schitterend.’ The Washington Post ‘Een fenomenale saga. Jeffers’ Ailey Pearl Garfield is een van de meest complete personages en gesprekspartners die ik in fictie ben tegengekomen. Jeffers eert zwarte vrouwen niet als heiligen of als verlossers, maar als briljante overlevenden die samen met hun geschiedenis vreugde en genialiteit belichamen.’ The Observer

On the one hand, nobody wants to be a dick. On the other hand, dicks are everywhere! They cut in line, talk behind our backs, recline into our seats, and even have the power to morph into trolls online. Their powers are impressive, but with a little foresight and thoughtfulness, we can take a stand against dickishness today. How Not to Be a Dick is packed with honest and straightforward advice, but it also includes playful illustrations showing two well-meaning (but not always well behaved) young people as they confront moments of potential dickishness in their everyday lives. Sometimes they falter, sometimes they triumph, but they always seek to find a better way. And with their help, you can too. Just see the agreement at the beginning of the book: I pledge to use the tools and techniques provided in this book to help make the world a less dickish place. "Doherty fires absurd twenty-first-century zingers that happen to be really, really, really funny."—starred, Booklist

In her third book of poems, Honorée Fanonne Jeffers expresses her familiarity with the actual and imaginary spaces that the American South occupies in our cultural lexicon. Her two earlier books of poetry, The Gospel of Barbecue and Outlandish Blues, use the blues poetic to explore notions of history and trauma. Now, in Red Clay Suite, Jeffersapproaches the southern landscape as utopia and dystopia—a crossroads of race, gender, and blood. These poems signal the ending movement of her crossroads blues and complete the last four “bars” of a blues song, resting on the final, and essential, note of resolution and reconciliation.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls comes "a magnificent, bighearted” novel (The Boston Globe) about small-town America that follows Louis Charles Lynch (“Lucy”) and his wife of forty years as they prepare to embark on a vacation to Italy. Lucy is sixty years old and has spent his entire life in Thomaston, New York. Like his late, beloved father, Lucy is an optimist, though he’s had plenty of reasons not to be—chief among them his mother, still indomitably alive. Yet it was her shrewdness, combined with that Lynch optimism, that had propelled them years ago to the right side of the tracks and created an “empire” of convenience stores about to be passed on to the next generation. Lucy's oldest friend, once a rival for his wife's affection, leads a life in Venice far removed from Thomaston. In fact, the exact nature of their friendship is one of the many mysteries Lucy hopes to untangle in the “history” he’s writing of his hometown and family. And with his story interspersed with that of Noonan, the native son who’d fled so long ago, the destinies building up around both of them (and Sarah, too) are relentless, constantly surprising, and utterly revealing. Look for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.

Winner of the Harper Lee Award (2018) Fierce and sensual, the poems in Outlandish Blues merge everyday speech with a shimmering lyricism and burst from the page into song. Honorée Fanonne Jeffers sees the blues, what she terms the "shared 'blue notes,''' as an important intersection between the secular and the divine, and between the various African American vernacular traditions, from spirituals to jazz. Part Nina Simone, part Bessie Smith, her poems are filled with a sweaty honesty, moving from the personal to the collective experience. This movement is often accomplished through the use of personae, concentrated here in a stunning series of poems on the Biblical figures of Hagar and Sarah. Whether about a contemporary domestic scene, a slave ship, or Aretha Franklin, these are poems that speak to the soul of experience.
