Books by James Pendleton

Co-authored by white university creative writing professor, James Pendleton, and a black writer, Jerome Johnson, this is the life of Braxton Bragg, a black man in the capital of the modern Confederacy, and great grandson of a white Confederate general. Despite the apparent dullness of his job, what he faces behind locked doors ranges from the embarrassing to the life-threatening. Braxton's dark, sometimes humorous commentary exposes the seamy underbelly of this Southern city--as well as the secret sins of the elite--and takes us through ten days of mystery, danger and surprise.
