Synopsis:
Jamaica, 1976. Seven gunmen storm Bob Marley's house, machine guns blazing. The reggae superstar survives, but the gunmen are never caught. From the acclaimed author of The Book of Night Women comes a dazzling display of masterful storytelling exploring this near-mythic event. Spanning three decades and crossing continents, A Brief History of Seven Killings chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters—slum kids, one-night stands, drug lords, girlfriends, journalists, and even the CIA. Gripping and inventive, ambitious and mesmerizing, A Brief History of Seven Killings is a thrilling, epic saga of the post-colonial world.
