LiteratureFacts concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family
Facts concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family reconstructs six generations of an English family whose African connections culminate in a devastating discovery. Its scholar protagonist hopes to vindicate an ancestor’s accounts of a lost city; instead, a recovered specimen identifies the family with the history he has studied. The story joins documentary horror to racist and hereditary assumptions that require explicit critical attribution.
