There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack iconsand of course the days headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement.

Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker, civil rights activist Rosa Parks, gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the days musical program; and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black womens work.How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionariessome famous, others soon to bein novelistic detail and like never seen before.

From two-time Giller Prize winner M.G. Vassanji comes a brilliant new novel that bends history, myth and fantasy to cast an eye on how empires are built, and how they collapse.When a light appears in the sky above a dying empire, the world below begins to change . . .Its the fading years of the 13th-century Delhi Sultanate, and famine, court intrigue and fears of invading Mongol armies have plunged Delhi into turmoil. As the empire lies on the brink of collapse, a strange, luminous presence suddenly appears in the western sky. Some call it a divine warning. Others, the herald of a new age.Amir Hassan al-ShiraziSufi poet, historian and reluctant witness to the Sultanates declineis charged with uncovering the truth of this apparition in the sky. His search for answers draws him through a world collapsing into paranoia: courtiers and scholars vanish, heretics burn and the citys faith in reason is consumed by religious fanaticism and end-of-days bacchanalian revelry. Then, just when it seems Delhi can take no more, the skies darken, and strange, winged conquerors descend upon the city. Delhi has fallen not to barbarians, but to the Avians, a half-man, half-bird race of beings who claim to offer a purer and more peaceful order.At first, their reign brings the peace and order so craved by Delhians, as the hungry are fed, castes are dissolved and the city is remade in the image of reason. Delhi, it seems, has been reborn. Yet beneath this fragile harmony, old fears and new cruelties take slowly root. Books are censored, memories rewritten, and those who question the new regime mysteriously vanish into the night. When Hassan is exiled to the Avians hidden mountain realm, he discovers the terrible perfection at the heart of their world, and the thin line dividing mercy from domination.Sweeping, visionary and profoundly daring, The Apparition is M.G. Vassanjis most ambitious novel yet. Bending historical fiction with speculative fiction, The Apparition is a penetrating exploration of the rise and fall of empires, the seductions of power and purity and the fragile persistence of compassion amid the ruins of history.
