Kenan's second work of fiction is a series of interconnected, sometimes fantastical tales following the lives of residents of Tims Creek, a small town in North Carolina. Legions of the dead, escaped slaves, and a Yoruba chieftain fill out the cast of what the New York Times called "nothing short of a wonder-book: one of those striking literary anomalies, in the tradition of Raintree County and The Country of the Pointed Firs, that are nearly as difficult to classify as they are enjoyable to read and reread.
