THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND OPRAHS BOOK CLUB PICKDeacon King Kong is deeply felt, beautifully written and profoundly humane; McBrides ability to inhabit his characters foibled, all-too-human interiority helps transform a fine book into a great one The New York Times Book ReviewA hilarious, pitch-perfect comedy set in the Brooklyn projects of the late 1960s. This alone may qualify it as one of the years best novels. The Washington Post From the winner of a National Book Award and author of The Good Lord Bird, soon to be a TV series starring Ethan HawkeThe year is 1969. In a housing project in south Brooklyn, a shambling old church deacon called Sportscoat shoots - for no apparent reason - the local drug-dealer who used to be part of the churchs baseball team. The repercussions of that moment draw in the whole community, from Sportscoats best friend - Hot Sausage - to the local Italian mobsters, the police (corrupt and otherwise), and the stalwart ladies of the Five Ends Baptist Church.DEACON KING KONG is a book about a community under threat, about the ways people pull together in an age when the old rules are being rewritten. It is very funny in places, and heartbreaking in others. From a prize-winning storyteller, this New York Times bestseller shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, and that the communities we build are fragile but vital. What Goodreads readers are saying-***** Deacon King Kong is one of those novels whose brilliance sneaks up on you. I havent been this pleasantly surprised by a book in a while.***** I do believe I just finished one of my all time favorite books. I loved every minute spent with Sportcoat and his community. A good old fashioned yarn shot through with truth, spirit, and humor. I LOVED it!***** This book was a balm for my soul, a portrait of a black church community circa 1969 with sweet characters (well, most of them), interconnections that stretch back decades, and a plot with more than one mystery at its heart.***** "Deacon" has the texture of folk lore and fable mixed with the unexpected rhythms of jazz and the noisy streets of late 1960s Brooklyn.***** The ending was one of those where you clutch your heart and want to hug the book (or your Kindle).
