Alan Cheuse
Novelist, essayist, and short story writer, Alan Cheuse, has been described as “The Voice of Books on NPR." His latest novel, Song of Slaves in the Desert (Sourcebooks Landmark, $25.99), is the story of one man’s struggle with the legacy of slavery and the loyalty of family. Beginning in Timbuktu in the 1500s, Cheuse traces the history of slavery to the American Civil War, and evokes life on a Jewish plantation in the 1800s. “A complex, richly detailed story, which reaches an unexpected conclusion that, among other things, is likely to make the reader thirsty,” says Kirkus.
