Reviews
"McBride returns with an improbably hilarious tapestry of late '60s Brooklyn, and an eclectic group of individuals that bore witness to a fatal shooting." -- Entertainment Weekly "With a Dickensian wealth of quirky characters, a sardonic but humane sense of humor reminiscent of Mark Twain, and cartoonish action scenes straight out of Pynchon, McBride creates a lived-in world where everybody knows everybody's business. This generous, achingly funny novel will delight and move readers." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "McBride has a flair for fashioning comedy whose buoyant outrageousness barely conceals both a steely command of big and small narrative elements and a river-deep supply of humane intelligence. An exuberant comic opera set to the music of life." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), Named one of the most anticipated books of 2020 by The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, AARP, and more "A darkly funny tale." - The New York Times "McBride's hilarious dialogue and an attention to detail reveals a complex local history. Capturing humanity through satire and witticisms, McBride draws everyday heroes." - Time "McBride returns with an improbably hilarious tapestry of late '60s Brooklyn, and an eclectic group of individuals that bore witness to a fatal shooting." - Entertainment Weekly "With a Dickensian wealth of quirky characters, a sardonic but humane sense of humor reminiscent of Mark Twain, and cartoonish action scenes straight out of Pynchon, McBride creates a lived-in world where everybody knows everybody's business. This generous, achingly funny novel will delight and move readers." - Publishers Weekly , STARRED REVIEW "Much is unpacked by the time the book reaches its lovely and heartfelt climax, as McBride shows what can happen when people set aside their differences. Highly recommended." - Library Journal , STARRED REVIEW "McBride has a flair for fashioning comedy whose buoyant outrageousness barely conceals both a steely command of big and small narrative elements and a river-deep supply of humane intelligence. An exuberant comic opera set to the music of life." - Kirkus Reviews , STARRED REVIEW "While historical fiction fans will appreciate the richly detailed approach to Brooklyn's grittiness, McBride's neighborhood saga ultimately sets a new standard for multidimensional fiction about people of color." - Booklist , STARRED REVIEW, "McBride has a flair for fashioning comedy whose buoyant outrageousness barely conceals both a steely command of big and small narrative elements and a river-deep supply of humane intelligence. An exuberant comic opera set to the music of life." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), Praise for DEACON KING KONG: " Deacon King Kong is deeply felt, beautifully written and profoundly humane; McBride's ability to inhabit his characters' foibled, all-too-human interiority helps transform a fine book into a great one." -- The New York Times Book Review "A hilarious, pitch-perfect comedy set in the Brooklyn projects of the late 1960s. This alone may qualify it as one of the year's best novels. However, McBride ... has constructed a story with a deeper meaning for those who choose to read beyond the plot, one that makes the work funnier, sweeter and more profound." -- The Washington Post "The sheer volume of invention in Deacon King Kong --on the level of both character...and language--commands awe. ... And the sentences! The prose radiates a kind of chain-reaction energy." -- The New Yorker "Readers of The Good Lord Bird will recognize shades of McBride's hilarious dialogue and an attention to detail that reveal a complex local history. Capturing humanity through satire and witticisms, McBride draws everyday heroes ... a rich and vivid multicultural history." -- TIME "With many plot twists and spellbinding scenes, Deacon King Kong becomes a partly comic but deeply poignant rumination on race and love...The narrative flows seamlessly from buoyant and comical black jive to somber, pitch-perfect descriptions of the histories and hard lives of those doing the talking."-- AP "McBride returns with an improbably hilarious tapestry of late '60s Brooklyn, and an eclectic group of individuals that bore witness to a fatal shooting." -- Entertainment Weekly

Synopsis
Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Fiction Winner of the Gotham Book Prize One of Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of the Year" Oprah's Book Club Pick New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century Named one of the Top Ten Books of the Year by the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and TIME Magazine A Washington Post Notable Novel From the author of The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store , the National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird, and the bestselling modern classic The Color of Water , comes one of the most celebrated novels of the year. In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat 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. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong , James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird . 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 Sportcoat was deacon, the neighborhood's Italian mobsters, and Sportcoat 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. Bringing to these pages both his masterly storytelling skills and his abiding faith in humanity, James McBride has written a novel every bit as involving as The Good Lord Bird and as emotionally honest as The Color of Water . Told with insight and wit, Deacon King Kong demonstrates that love and faith live in all of us., From James McBride, author of the National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird , comes a wise and witty novel about what happens to the witnesses of a shooting.

    I spent over $17.00 for shipping through FedEx because USPS has been unreliable for shipping. It took almost 3 weeks for the comic book to be delivered because of a 'weather delay'. The book was finally delivered NOT to my address , but to a neighbors address. The seller graciously refunded most of the shipping cost, although it was not the sellers fault. The book was as described, Good communication by the seller and packed well.

    Fantastic Packaging, it probably took me a solid 5+ minutes to get all the packaging off of it. The condition and quality was exactly as described. FANTASTIC VAULE, I paid $40 (including shipping) for a CGC 8.0 Spider-man Torment comic and it was definitely worth it. The appearance looked exactly how it does in the pictures. Fantastic seller, definitely recommend!

    The Amazing Spider-Man #316 came exactly as advertised in 4.5 VG+ condition with speedy shipping and professional packaging to prevent bending in transit. The price was also right around fair market value which was much lower than competitors. This seller cares more about pricing key comics at a fair price relative to their grade than ripping you off for a quick buck. I highly recommend them!

    Light reading, satiric comedy

    Well written, easy to read, entertaining. Haven't gotten all that far with it yet. I thought it might be something to get lost in like Walter Mosley's books, but it's a bit lighter than that. A real satiric comedy.

    Deacon King Kong will make you think.

    It may take some time to get into the book because it has many characters, it is all worth it. Plenty to say in an entertaining manner.
