THE PROPHETS by Robert Jones Jr. continues to receive acclaim. The Gay & Lesbian Review writes: “[Jones Jr.] has embarked upon a difficult undertaking. He writes about same-sex love between enslaved people, attractions that undoubtedly existed but have so far been little explored by historians or fiction writers…[THE PROPHETS brings] historical sweep, magic, and flights of lyricism to the earthbound world.” Jones Jr. was also interviewed by WWNO-NPR’s The Reading Life and CUNY’s Book Beat. Lastly, THE PROPHETS is featured on March must-read lists March for Paperback Paris, USA Today, and Pop Sugar. G.P. Putnam’s Sons published the book on January 5, 2021.
