High John the Conqueror: A Novel

Product Information

I’m not a local. I’m an import to this area, but I’ve been here since 2008. And prior to that, I lived in London for 30 or 31 years. So I suppose you could say that it took me over a decade to write about my immediate environment. And also it took me seven novels before I was ready to write in first person or use the “I” for a novel. Yeah. So neither of these things — which I think are pretty common for novelists — were the positions I started with. I think this falls short of an accurate depiction of what the police are. While I wanted to write a novel that did not idealize or correct the sort of ire directed at the police — which, as I said, I think is often justified — I wanted also to write about people who, a lot of the time, are doing sensible things that are societally necessary. Having to clean up the mess that modern capitalism leaves is often a thankless task, but there are people in there motivated by good and decent reasons; they’re not a species apart from other civil servants.

I like the way that it confounds genre and easy categorization because usually to do so in writing means death. Most of the modern fiction I love doesn’t do that. It belongs outside of genre, and it just engages with and employs genre to tell the kind of story it needs to. What I enjoyed about True Detective was that, quite clearly, it had no respect for dominant reality as it’s encountered in most television or fiction. Metaphysical assumption seemed to be built into the thing. This wasn’t a materialist story. People were time traveling; clearly evil as some irreducible force was a character in it. It didn’t feel like it needed to explain itself any more than David Lynch would — because in life, when you encounter these things, you don’t encounter them with some overarching theory.I don’t think there are many people that can be running left-wing publishing imprints that could see themselves in this.

If the dime and the bill bear leap-year dates, so In one traditional John the Conqueror story told by Virginia Hamilton, and probably based on " Jean, the Soldier, and Eulalie, the Devil's Daughter", John falls in love with the Devil's daughter. The Devil sets John a number of impossible tasks: he must clear sixty acres (25 ha) of land in half a day and then sow it with corn and reap it in the other half a day. The Devil's daughter furnishes John with a magical axe and plow that get these impossible tasks done, but warns John that her father the Devil means to kill him even if he performs them. John and the Devil's daughter steal the Devil's own horses; the Devil pursues them, but they escape his clutches by shape-shifting.
