Burn Down Master's House:  A Conversation with Clay Cane and James Jones

Burn Down Master's House is a singular tour de force of a novel—breathtaking in scope, compassion, and timeliness that speaks powerfully to our present era. Inspired by long-buried true stories of enslaved people who dared to fight back, this powerful novel offers a searing portrayal of resistance. From Clay Cane, award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Grift, it's a must-read for fans of Colson Whitehead, Jesmyn Ward, and Percival Everett.
