More than ten years after his first collection of short stories was nominated for a National Book Award, Edward P. Jones's second book (and first novel) created an even bigger critical stir. Jonathan Yardley called The Known World, about a black slaveholder in the antebellum South, ""the best new work of American fiction to cross my desk in years.""
