    Darky, ein vierjähriger schwarzer Hengst, gewinnt als Zweitpferd das "1000-Meilen-Rennen", das zwischen den Ost- und Weststaaten ausgetragen wird und über die Strecke von Nebraska nach Illinois führt. Doc Middleton, der Besitzer des Pferdes, erhält Höchstangebote. Er verkauft Darky an Larry Fuller, der für Mr. Gordon, einen Interessenten in England, seit Langem ein solches Rassepferd sucht. Und so tritt der junge Hengst die große Reise über den Atlantik an.

Durch eine gerade noch rechtzeitig erfolgte Infusion kann der Tierarzt Dr. White das Pferd retten. Gesund und munter kommt der Hengst in Birtwick-Park an, wo Jessie und Flora, die beiden Töchter Mr. Gordons, seine Ankunft ungeduldig erwarten. Sie sind von Darkys Anblick geradezu fasziniert!

    Slumberland
    Ein Berlin-Roman, wie es noch keinen gibt: DJ Darky kommt aus New York in die deutsche Hauptstadt, um einen abgetauchten Jazzer aufzuspüren. Es ist die Zeit des Mauerfalls, in der plötzlich alles möglich scheint. In der Bar "Slumberland", wo DJ Darky sich als "Jukebox-Sommelier" verdingt, entdeckt er seine sexuelle Macht, den Musikgeschmack von Neonazis und das Leben der Ostdeutschen, das ihn zusehends an das Leben der Afroamerikaner im amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg erinnert... Virtuos spielt Paul Beatty mit den Verhältnissen zwischen den Geschlechtern, zwischen Schwarz und Weiß, Ost und West, Jazz und Techno und mischt daraus einen aufregenden neuen Sound.

    My Old Kentucky Home (eBook, ePUB)
    The long journey of an American song, from its enormous success in the early 1850s, written by a white man, considered the father of American music, about a Black man being sold downriver, performed for decades by white men in blackface, and the song, an anthem of longing and pain, turned upside down and, over time, becoming a celebration of happy plantation life. It is the state song of Kentucky, a song that has inhabited hearts and memories, and in perpetual reprise, stands outside time; sung each May, before every Kentucky Derby, since 1930. Written by Stephen Foster nine years before the Civil War, "My Old Kentucky Home" made its way through the wartime years to its decades-long run as a national minstrel sensation for which it was written; from its reference in the pages of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind to being sung on The Simpsons and Mad Men. Originally called "Poor Uncle Tom, Good-Night!" and inspired by America's most famous abolitionist novel, it was a lament by an enslaved man, sold by his "master," who must say goodbye to his beloved family and cherished birthplace, with hints of the brutality to come: "The head must bow and the back will have to bend / Wherever the darky may go / A few more days, and the trouble all will end / In the field where the sugar-canes grow . . ." In My Old Kentucky Home, Emily Bingham explores the long, strange journey of what has come to be seen by some as an American anthem, an integral part of our folklore, culture, customs, foundation, a living symbol of a "happy past." But "My Old Kentucky Home" was never just a song. It was always a song about slavery with the real Kentucky home inhabited by the enslaved and shot through with violence, despair, and degradation. Bingham explores the song's history and permutations from its decades of performances across the continent, entering into the bloodstream of American life, through its twenty-first-century reassessment. It is a song that has been repeated, taught, and passed down from generation to generation, bridging a nation's fraught disconnect between history and warped illusion, a revelation of the country's evolving self and a resonant changing emblem of America's original sin whose blood-drenched shadow hovers and haunts us still.
