1Q1A The Revisioners Margaret Wilkerson Sexton
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader.
Today our guest is Margaret Wilkerson Sexton author of this, her second novel The Revisioners, published in November by Counterpoint.
Margaret was born and raised in New Orleans which is also the setting of this book. Her debut novel A Kind Of Freedom, was long listed for the National Book Award. She has written for The NYT Book Review, Oprah, The Massachusetts Review and many other publications.
The Revisioners covers the lives of two women, one whose straddles two centuries, the other’s is set in a post-Trump (yucch) 2017.
A pivotal and quite timely piece of advice is given to us from the echoes of the 1800s. “Aint no use in hate. Whatever you trying to get away from, hate just binds you to it.”
Women have a tough time on their own and black women even a tougher time. The Revisioners relates the story of the attempts to cope, through the eyes and mouths of two different women born in different times but with strongly parallel challenges. Woven through however is a story about families, generations and racism.
