Download All Aunt Hagar's Children: Selected Stories AudioBook Free
In fourteen sublime stories, the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of The Known World implies that his grasp of the human condition is firmer than ever. Returning to the location that inspired his first prizewinning book, Lost in the City, Jones has filled this new collection with people who call Washington, D.C., home. Yet it isn't the city's power brokers that a lot of concern him but instead its ordinary citizens. All Aunt Hagar's Children turns an unflinching eye to the men, women, and children caught between the old means of the South and the temptations that await them in the town, people who in Jones's masterful hands, emerge as fully human and morally complex, if they are country folk used to waking up with the chickens or people with centuries of education in it. Together with the legacy of slavery just a stone's throw in it and the near future uncertain, Jones's cornucopia of characters will haunt readers for a long time to come.
