About the book
Marlon James presents an epic novel that reimagines the events surrounding the 1976 assassination attempt on Bob Marley in Jamaica. Through multiple perspectives and narrative voices spanning decades, the book builds a complex mosaic of politics, violence, spirituality, and the cultural chaos of Kingston during Michael Manley's regime.
With inventive language, a challenging nonlinear structure, and a deep dive into Jamaican social contradictions, James creates an ambitious work that transcends biography to become a meditation on power, death, and historical meaning.
