DOWN ALONG WITH THAT DEVIL’S BONES by Connor Towne O’Neill
Connor Towne O’Neill’s DOWN ALONG WITH THAT DEVIL’S BONES is an October Indie Next Pick. Brian Lampkin of Scuppernong Books in Greensboro, NC writes that the “combination of historical research on the ‘Southern Cause’ and Jim Crow racism, combined with visits to the most contentious monuments to slavery, bring this work to visceral life.” Additionally, New York Journal of Books says that Towne O’Neill “writes with a fluency of American culture that portends well for his books to come,” while Birmingham Watch praises “a beautifully written book that explores some of America’s ugliest sins through the life and legacy of a profound sinner.” Towne O’Neill also sat down with CNN for an interview published online. Algonquin Books published DOWN ALONG WITH THAT DEVIL’S BONES on September 29, 2020.
