In _A History of the African-American People [proposed] by Strom Thurmond_, Percival Everett and James Kincaid present a chronicle of former South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond's desire to pen a history of African-Americans--his and his aides' belief being that he has done as much, or more, than any American to shape that history. An epistolary novel, _A History_ follows the letters of loose-cannon Congressional office workers, insane interns at a large New York publishing house, and disturbed publishing executives along with homicidal rival editors, and kindly family friends. Stom Thurmond appears charming and open, mad and sure of his place in American history.
