I wanted to keep reading this story. I do miss reading experiences like this one. Thank you, Mr. Andrews. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gem *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020* Can't believe this book is out of print! Classic rural Georgia ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Neglected African-American Classic *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2011* Despite being the first recipient of the James Baldwin Prize in 1978, Andrews work was largely neglected. Tragically , Andrews committed suicide in Nov. 1991 just as he was beginning to garner serious critical (and well deserved) attention. It does not take long for the reader to realize s/he is in the hands of a great prose stylist. Sometimes the words roll out in long lines of Faulknerian intricacy and pure poetic brilliance; at other times with a hip, masculine, self-assured delivery saved from macho boorishness by a sly, self-conscious humor. Appalachee Red, part I of the Muskhogean Trilogy, takes place between 1918-1963. These years and pages are filled with systemic corruption, the popular vices of gambling, prostitution, and drunkenness, and also rape, murder, insanity, massive labor exploitation, and neo-enslavement. Out of these elements, Andrews fashions intricate, heart wrenching tragedy, sharp social criticism, and a huge dose of outrageous black comedy. This is not just an African-American but an all -American novel as symbolized in the names of 3 prominent characters: Appalachee RED (who is 1/2 White , 1/2 Black), Sheriff Clyde WHITE (White), and BLUE Thompson (Black). This America is not the benign melting pot of our delusional American official mythology. Beyond the obvious divisions of Black and White, Male and Female, we have the cultural divisions of town and country, and Dionysian Baptists vs. Apollonian Methodists. Within the African-American community, the racist hierarchy of White over Black is tragically racapitulated in this pre-"Black is Beautiful" world by a rigid division between light and dark skinned African-Americans. Yet, if this situation reflects the outer world, we all know that the light skinned are the product of unspoken White/Black sex, often from the violent rape of Black women by dominant Whites. Appalachee Red, as a light skinned Black man, upsets both the tradition of official racial separation and the unofficial, secretive, violent tradition of Black/White relations by openly and lovingly living with a beautiful, dark skinned woman whose name I will not reveal for fear of ruining the story for potential readers. The scene when these 2 people meet reminded me of the famous mirror scene in George Eliot's Middlemarch but instead of the mirror being a symbol of unreflective self-absorption, this woman looks into her mirror and in a vivid, ingeniously rendered scene, is drawn into a highly charged sexual vortex that allows her to transcend her world. Reading this novel can itself be a transcendent experience. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/85714821-appalachee-red-a-novel-brown-thrasher-books-ser](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/85714821-appalachee-red-a-novel-brown-thrasher-books-ser) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
