Any Known Blood

by Lawrence Hill Narrated by Kevin R. Free

Overview

Author of the #1 best-seller The Book of Negroes, Lawrence Hill is a writer of immense talent-and his literary reputation grows with each new work. Canadian Langston Cane V finds his writing career (and, indeed, his life) in stasis until inspired by his mentor to write about an ancestor who purportedly died fighting alongside John Brown at Harpers Ferry. Traveling to Baltimore, the latter-day Cane delves into history and in so doing awakens to new possibilities. "A remarkable achievement."-Joyce Carol Oates

Editorial Reviews

Andy Solomon

Hill's affable narrative voice, spiced with wit and humor, makes Cane's quest a delightful one....within Any Known Blood are at least five more stories dying to be told.

Maclean's

Illuminates 150 years of little-known black experience on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. At the same time, Hill’s characters remain deeply realized creations that exert a strong imaginative pull.

Montreal Gazette

Hill takes his place among a growing number of writers in this country who have an important story to tell, and the ability to dignify it with writing that is both spellbinding and rewarding.

The Globe and Mail

Sparkling, witty dialogue is one of the chief reasons this [book] . . . is so pleasurable a read. . . . Deliciously erotic scenes celebrate the passion and playfulness of emotionally intimate bonds.
