 Audiobook Review

Dominion (2025)

by Adie E. Citchens

 I listened to this entire Audiobook thinking it was one of the picks for the Mississippi chapter of the 1,001 Novels: A Library of America project but lo and behold, came to learn it was not.  It should be- Dominion is a very geographically specific novel about the family of a wealthy and successful small town African American Baptist minister.  There are two narrators, the wife of the minister and the girlfriend of the youngest son of the family, a star football player and secret monster.

  I thought Citchens did a great job of imagining this world- far better than many of the authors on the 1,001 Novels: A Library of America list.  This book would definitely make any revised list I put together.
