“Because we ain’t nothing more than a name and some likes and some distastes and a story we tell about ourselves.”
Fearing a death sentence, Octavian and his tutor, Dr. Trefusis, escape through rising tides and pouring rain to find shelter in British-occupied Boston. Sundered from all he knows—the College of Lucidity, the rebel cause—Octavian hopes to find safe harbor. Instead, he is soon to learn of Lord Dunmore’s proclamation offering freedom to slaves who join the counterrevolutionary forces.
In Volume II of his unparalleled masterwork, M.T. Anderson recounts Octavian’s experiences as the Revolutionary War explodes around him, thrusting him into intense battles and tantalizing him with elusive visions of liberty. Ultimately, this astonishing narrative escalates to a startling, deeply satisfying climax, while reexamining our national origin in a singularly provocative light.
*Challenged for addressing systemic racism, slavery, and the critical examination of American history.
Read Alikes for The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing Traitor to the Nation Volume II: Kindred by Octavia Butler; Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson; Feed by M.T. Anderson
