John Washington, professor of history, is drawn back to his small town when he hears that his friend and mentor old Jack Crawley is dying. Jack Crawley had always been a storyteller. Before he dies, he tells John one last story, and leaves him a strange bequest that sets John on a search for the truth about his father ? a man who began as a maker of illegal whiskey and ended as the wealthiest and most influential black member of the community. As John unravels his family history, he discovers a tale of intrigue leading back to slavery days. The Chaneysville Incident ? winner of the PEN/Faulkner award as the best American novel of 1981 ? stuns like a thriller and awes like an epic. Quite simply one of the major novels of the decade.
