Changó, the Biggest Badass
Climb aboard this novel like so many million African prisoners on the slave ships; and feel free despite your chains.
Take off your clothes!
Whatever your race, culture, or class, don’t forget that the land where you tread is America, the New World, humanity’s new dawn. So become a child. If you find strange spirits ---in word, character, or plot---take them as a challenge to your imagination. Forget about academics, verb tenses, the boundaries between life and death, because in this saga there is no other trace than the one you leave behind: you are the prisoner, the discoverer, the founder, the liberator.
