Set in 1957 in the small town of Sutton, William Melvin Kelley's debut novel, A Different Drummer, explores the profound ripple effects when a Black farmer and the entire African-American community suddenly leave the town. Told through the perspectives of various white townspeople, the story examines reactions ranging from bigotry to sympathy in the face of this unprecedented act of defiance. Rediscovered and republished in 2018, this powerful narrative offers a compelling look at race, community, and societal change.
