    Book Review: The Pursuit Of…

    39962903

    What do a Black American soldier, invalided out at Yorktown, and a white British officer who deserted his post have in common? Quite a bit, actually. 

    • They attempted to kill each other the first time they met. 
    • They’re liable to try again at some point in the five-hundred mile journey that they’re inexplicably sharing. 
    • They are not falling in love with each other. 
    • They are not falling in love with each other. 
    • They are… Oh, no. 

    The Pursuit Of… is about a love affair between two men and the Declaration of Independence. It’s a novella of around 38,000 words.
