Description

Set on a Louisiana sugarcane plantation in the 1970s, 'A Gathering of Old Men' is a powerful depiction of racial tensions arising over the death of a Cajun farmer at the hands of a black man. Building to a climax that is as stunning as it is inevitable, 'A Gathering of Old Men' powerfully describes the racial tensions in 1970s Louisiana. Narrators Peter Francis James, Michelle-Denise Woods, Sally Darling, Graham Brown, Murphy Guyer, Tom Stechschulte, and Mark Hammer bring Gaines' masterful prose to vivid life.
