Book Title: Deacon King Kong

Deacon King Kong was the selection and conversation for a virtual book club with author James Mcbride. His communication is similar to his writing style very clear. It was insightful and informative. He touched base on his background, the book/characters and some realities of life. There is so much depth to this author. I felt enlightened and glad this book was chosen to read. There's a connection amongst the characters, the writer and reader. 

James Mcbride mentioned this quote below when it comes to writing: 
"When there is judgment there is no journey
When there is no journey there is no story"

His character, communication, talents and writing is greatly appreciated. I shared a video below to introduce and learn more about James Mcbride.
