The groundskeeper is part of the household’s all-black staff, along with “Miss Mamie,” the talented cook, pretty new maid Jennie Williams, and three young kitchen apprentices—the latest orphan boys Mr. Barclay has taken in to "civilize" boys like August.But the Barclays fortunes have fallen, and their money is almost gone. When a prospective business associate proposes selling Miss Mamie’s delicious rib sauce to local markets under the brand name “The Rib King”—using a caricature of a wildly grinning August on the label—Mr. Barclay, desperate for cash, agrees. Yet neither Miss Mamie nor August will see a dime. Humiliated, August grows increasingly distraught, his anger building to a rage that explodes in shocking tragedy.Elegantly written and exhaustively researched, The Rib King is an unsparing examination of America’s fascination with black iconography and exploitation that redefines African American stereotypes in literature. In this powerful, disturbing, and timely novel, Ladee Hubbard reveals who people actually are, and most importantly, who and what they are not.

Autor: Ladee Hubbard
(EUA, 1970) tem se firmado como uma das vozes mais expressivas da literatura norte-americana ao mobilizar a ficção para abordar momentos históricos e iluminar pontos cegos nos debates contemporâneos a respeito de questões como racismo, gentrificação, estigma e misoginia. A habilidade narrativa de Ladee é inequívoca, tendo recebido o Pre^mio Ernest J. Gaines 2018 por Excele^ncia Litera´ria, e ter sido contemplada com bolsas de instituic¸o~es renomadas, como Art Omi, Fundação Guggenheim, Fundac¸a~o Sacatar, Sustainable Arts Foundation, Hedgebrook e Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. O trabalho de Ladee foi descrito por Toni Morrison, ganhadora do Nobel de Literatura em 1993, como “original e ousadamente inventivo”.
