A History of the African-American People (proposed) by Strom Thur

In A History of the African-American People [proposed], Percival Everett and James Kincaid present a fictious chronicle of former South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond´s desire to pen a history of African-Americans -his and his aides´ belief being that he has done as much, or more, than any American to shape that history. An epistolary novel, A History follows the letters of loose-cannon congressional office workers, insane interns at a large New York publishing house, and disturbed publishing executives, along with homicidal rival editors and kindly family friends. Strom Thurmond appears charming and open, amd and sure of his place in American history.
