Inhaltsangabe

When Luke Washington’s estranged father dies suddenly, Luke doesn’t even want to go to the funeral, let alone handle the arrangements. But with no one else stepping up, and his grandmother’s motto “we do for family” stuck in his head, he makes the trip from Seattle back to the Mississippi Delta and the broken family he left behind. Can Luke bury the past alongside his father, or will the dysfunction of a family ruled by the dead take too great a toll on his heart?"The Burial is a penetrating meditation on race and family as lived in the South. The protagonist's journey back home from the Pacific Northwest to the Mississippi Delta is itself a metaphor for the consequences of the Great Migration. But more than that, The Burial is at once a sad and hopeful story, as stories of race and family in the South have always been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future." -Dr. Thomas Aiello, author of Jim Crow's Last Stand and professor of African-American Studies, Valdosta University

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Pandem Buckner grew up in the primieval woods of northern Mississippi and is just now getting around to becoming civilized. He lives somewhere around Seattle with his daughter Catherine, and spends his time doing whatever strikes his fancy at any given moment. He is also a writer, voracious reader, video game fan, comic book geek, and all-around creative machine. If you ever see him around Seattle, you probably didn’t. It was just somebody that looked like him, of which there are more than you might think.
