Reseña del libro "Goliath: A Novel (en Inglés)"

A young Black man feels called irresistably to farmland he's never seen, where a fateful feud simmers between a pastor and his protégé. A thunderous instant classic, this novel reimagines David and Goliath as the story of one unforgettable family, living in the era of the Great Migration and in the heart of the American South.

"PLEASE READ THIS MASTERPIECE." —Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy

In 1910, at the tender age of fourteen, David Jeremiah Lightfoot inherits his father’s farm in Mississippi: a barren, cursed plot of land once known as Goliath. David has never lived outside Chicago, but he is determined to claim and farm the land more effectively than his father ever could. Once there, David confronts both literal and figurative giants. And soon a high-stakes struggle with the burden of his ancestors’ legacy will intertwine his fate with that of his family, the land, and the surrounding community.

Narrating this saga is David’s youngest son, Little Bit, a uniquely sensitive storyteller with immense love for his parents, his grandfather Big Man, his uncle Jonathan, his cousin, and his brothers and sister. Little Bit charts the dramatic twists and turns of his father's rise to a precarious pinnacle of wealth and power, studded as it was with quiet moments of sweetness, joy, and transcendent beauty.

At once a profound, heartfelt story about one tight-knit family and an elegant, propulsive tragedy, Goliath weaves together themes of destiny and redemption. It is a revelatory meditation on the deep, troubled ties between Black Americans and the very ground on which past generations toiled and lived.
