Marlon James’ novel “A Brief History of Seven Killings,” won the 2015 Man Booker Prize, OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature for fiction, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for fiction and the Minnesota Book Award, and it was a New York Times Notable Book. James’s newest book, the award-winning “Black Leopard, Red Wolf” (Riverhead), has been compared to “The Lord of the Rings” and referred to as an African “Game of Thrones.” This epic adventure weaves together mythology, fantasy and history to explore the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power and our need to understand them both.
