Description

Ce jour de l’été 2011, pour la première fois depuis mes quinze ans, j’ai cessé d’écrire. Plus rien ne me venait, ni courrier, ni journal, ni texte littéraire… Ecrire m’était devenu impossible, j’avais la gorge nouée. Que s’était-il passé qui puisse justifier cet étranglement ? Ce subit refus de continuer ce qui, jusque-là, faisait ma vie, l’écriture ? La réponse m’apparut comme évidente : le dimanche 24 juillet, à l’hôpital de Fécamp, David était mort. Mort, le mot lui allait si mal. Même quand j’ai su qu’il rechutait, six mois plus tôt, je n’y ai pas cru, David, mon « fils de cœur », allait à nouveau trouver des solutions à son mal. Aujourd’hui, si je m’y remets, serait-ce que David attend de moi que j’écrive sur lui, puisque tel est mon seul savoir-faire ? Je sens en tout cas, que je ne pourrai recommencer un texte qu’après avoir transcrit ce que ce « fils » disparu a été pour moi, ce que nous avons vécu en commun, ces rares moments qui n’ont été qu’à nous deux. Sans que cela ôte quoi que ce soit à aucun d’entre les siens, proches ou lointains. Voici donc ce que j’ai vécu d’unique avec David.

Description

The Bible describes King David as “a man after God’s own heart,” and his reign is considered the golden age of ancient Israel. David unified the 12 Hebrew tribes, established a powerful central government, expanded Israel’s borders through a combination of diplomacy and military conquest, and laid the foundations for an Israelite monarchy that would endure for centuries. David was far from perfect, however; his fits of temper and sinful behaviors often resulted in tragic consequences. But David’s weaknesses, and his trust in the Lord, demonstrate the power of God’s forgiveness. King David continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration 3,000 years after his death.

Description

“God and whiskey have got me where I am. Too little of the one, too much of the other.”
—David King, 1895.

Born a slave in 1847, but raised as a free man by the Reverend William King, David has rebelled against his emancipator and his predestined future in the church. He’s taken up residence in the nearby town of Chatham, made a living robbing graves, and now presides—in the company of a German ex-prostitute named Loretta—over an illegal after-hours tavern.

These days that final, violent confrontation with Reverend King seems like a lifetime ago. The residents of Chatham know David as a God-cursing, liquor-slinging, money-having man-about-town, famously educated and fabulously eccentric. And he seems to be more-or-less happy … that is, until the death of Reverend King brings his past crashing down upon him.

Inspired by the Elgin Settlement, which by 1852 housed 75 free black families and was studied by Lincoln and Harriet Beecher Stowe, David is a fiery look at one man’s quest for knowledge and forgiveness, and a moving portrait of life after the Underground Railroad.

Ray Robertson is the author of Why Not? Fifteen Reasons to Live.
