Deacon King Kong: A Novel by James McBride Oprah’s Book Club 2020, New Brand NewA novel by James McBride Oprah’s Book 2020ISBN 978-0-7352-1672-3UPC#9780735216723 Riverhead BooksNew York In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sport coat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and in front of everybody shoots the project’s drug dealer at point-blank range. In Deacon King Kong, McBride brings to vivid life the people affected by the shooting: the victim, the African American and Latinx residents who witnessed it, the white neighbors, the local cops assigned to investigate, the members of the Five Ends Baptist Church where Sport coat was deacon, the neighborhood’s Italian mobsters, and Sport coat himself. As the story deepens, it becomes clear that the lives of the characters–caught in the tumultuous swirl of 1960s New York–overlap in unexpected ways. When the truth does emerge, McBride shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, that the best way to grow is to face change without fear, and that the seeds of love lie in hope and compassion.
