An epistolary novel that imagines former Sen. Strom Thurmond‘s wish (and that of his PR aide) to chronicle his part in shaping African American history in the U.S. (It‘s not a spoiler alert to say they believe he was a positive influence.) This book is totally bonkers but also makes pointed statements about the hypocrisy of Northern states condemning Southerners for racism while ignoring their own lack of commitment to civil rights.
