Marlon James

In the novel, The Book of Night Women (Riverhead, $26.95), Marlon James explores the ferociously cruel and dehumanizing practice of slavery in Jamaica. The book is narrated in a lilting Jamaican patois that at once underscores and eerily conflicts with the disturbing images of violence and degradation that James conjures. "Night Women will keep readers up at night," says Bookmarks magazine.
