Synopsis
A story of racism, violence, and self-realization set in backwoods Louisiana under the Jim Crow era. The action is set in motion when a white farmer is murdered by a black, in circumstances reminiscent of the notorious Emmet Till case of the 1950s. Rather than allow the defendant to be summarily executed--or lynched--fifteen elderly black men go to the local sheriff and each confess to the crime, thereby making prosecution of the case virtually impossible.

Publisher's Note
Set on a Louisiana sugarcane plantation in the 1970s, A Gathering of Old Men is a powerful depiction of racial tensions arising over the death of a Cajun farmer at the hands of a black man. "Poignant, powerful, earthy...a novel of Southern racial confrontation in which a group of elderly black men band together against whites who seek vengeance for the murder of one of their own."--Booklist"A fine novel...there is a denouement that will shock and move readers as much as it does the characters."--Philadelphia Inquirer

Industry Reviews
"The best-written novel of Southern race relations in over a decade."
Howe
