Description
John Henry Days is a novel that masterfully weaves together two seemingly disparate narratives. On one level, it's a retelling of the story of John Henry, the black steel-driver who defied technological progress to prove his worth. On another, it's the story of a disillusioned journalist attending the annual John Henry Days festival, where he becomes embroiled in a world of PR flacks, blues musicians, and turn-of-the-century song pluggers.
This vibrant novel is a thrilling ride through the intersection of American legend and pop culture. With its unique blend of humor, intelligence, and wit, it's an unforgettable read that will leave you eager to discuss its many layers with others.
