Edward P. Jones - The Known World
One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, The Known World is a daring
and ambitious work by Pulitzer Prize winner Edward P. Jones. The Known World
tells the story of Henry Townsend, a black farmer and former slave who falls
under the tutelage of William Robbins, the most powerful man in Manchester
County, Virginia. Making certain he never circumvents the law, Townsend runs his
affairs with unusual discipline. But when death takes him unexpectedly, his
widow, Caldonia, can't uphold the estate's order, and chaos ensues. Jones has
woven a footnote of history into an epic that takes an unflinching look at
slavery in all its moral complexities.
