Slaveroad by John Edgar Wideman

From the publisher:

“Master of language” (The New York Times) John Edgar Wideman uses his unique generational position to explore what he calls the “slaveroad,” offering “a fresh perspective of slavery’s impact and a confirmation of Wideman’s exalted status in American letters” (New York magazine).

Alias Elephant is used for cover type. This published cover uses Elephant Light, a pre-published layout uses a hand-rendered Elephant Black.
