James McBride’s latest novel, Deacon King Kong, is set in 1969 and is about the effect of a shooting on a community. McBride is best known for his best-selling memoir, The Color of Water, which was about growing up in a family of 11 children in a Brooklyn Housing project. His mother was white and Polish, his father African-American. McBride’s novel Miracle at St. Anna about the largely African American 92nd Infantry Division in Italy during World War 2, was made into a film by Spike Lee. His comedy novel The Good Lord Bird was awarded the National Book Award and has been adapted into a Showtime mini-series, starring Ethan Hawke.
