Reading Group – Different Drummer

June, 1957. One afternoon, in the backwater town of Sutton, a young black farmer by the name of Tucker Caliban matter-of-factly throws salt on his field, shoots his horse and livestock, sets fire to his house and departs the southern state. And thereafter, the entire African-American population leave with him. From this intriguing premise William Melvin Kelly tells a story which resonates still today. A rediscovered American classic.
