About

Okas begins a proposed series of novels investigating the ancestry of two nebulous characters, Arthur and Morning Black. Tracing their family tree, Okas takes this Alex Haley theme on a detour through the ribald pageantry of American history and culture. The result is a rich collage of characters and American icons whose stories are told in a savory and metaphorical voice ringing with social satire.

Reviews

"The entertaining characters and dramatic action will endear this debut novel to readers, who should eagerly anticipate Okas's next volume. Highly recommended."
Library Journal
"An offbeat romp through American history from reconstruction through the birth of jazz, turning American myth and folklore on its head as its fairy-tale characters chase after life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness."
