Marlon james

I met Marlon James when I interviewed him about A Brief History of Seven Killings at the New York Public Library, and he and his work each deeply impressed me. The novel publicizes its formidable playfulness in its title; it’s now not short (it’s long), now not a records (it’s high-octane fiction) and incorporates no longer seven however many lots of killings, circling round the tried assassination of Bob Marley. 

It received the Man Booker Prize and became Marlon into one of the most essential voices of his literary generation, a position he has gleefully embraced on social media and elsewhere, talking out on race, literature, homosexual rights and something else is on his mind. He has accompanied Brief History with an even greater bold project: Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the first quantity of a promised trilogy, a fabulist reimagining of Africa, with inevitable echoes of Tolkien, George R.R. Martin and Black Panther, however especially original, its language surging with power, its creativeness all-encompassing. Marlon is a author who have to be read.
