Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. I read "Dust to Dust" by Mary Robinette Kowal and the award-winning "The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington" by P. Djeli Clark. Both stories were well crafted, though I enjoyed Kowal's more. (It has more of a story; the Clark story is basically a series of nine vignettes that are only loosely linked together.) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Unlike the fable many are told as children of George Washington's teeth being made of wood, they were in all fact made from the teeth of slaves. This is the tale of where nine such teeth came from, set in a world like ours but made of magic and magical creatures.
While I don't consider this piece an overwhelming favorite of my life, I do think it's done incredibly well. The matter of fact tone the narrator/historian takes with the tales of the people, the lives of slavery, the life of George (facing the effects of the teeth), and every bit of sorcery seering through the words sells this world.
I'm definitely looking forward to reading Clark's novella The Black God's Drums now, too ( which was, also, nominated for a Hugo). ( )
