Description

By all accounts, the bludgeoning murder in 1949 of a taxi driverby brothers George and Rufus Hamilton was a "slug-ugly" crime. Georgeand Rue were hanged for it. Repelled and intrigued by his ancestral cousins'deeds, George Elliott Clarke uncovered a story of violence, poverty and shame-astory that led first to the Governor General's Award-winning ExecutionPoems and culminated in Clarke's brilliant and darkly comic debut novel. Named an editor's choice by The Bookseller inthe UK, George & Rue is a book about death that brims with fiercevitality and the sensual, rhythmic beauty that so often defines Clarke'swriting.
