Daniel Black is at the top of his literary game with The Coming, a novel that National Book Award-winning author Charles
Johnson (Middle Passage) calls "powerful and beautiful" and "a work to be proud of."
Lyrical, poetic, and hypnotizing, The Coming tells the story of a people's capture and sojourn from their homeland across the Middle Passage--a traumatic trip that exposed the strength and
resolve of the African spirit. Extreme conditions produce extraordinary insight, and only after being stripped of everything do they discover the unspeakable
beauty they once took for granted. This powerful, haunting novel will shake readers to their very souls.
