the last book I ever read (Black Deutschland by Darryl Pinckney, excerpt three)

from Black Deutschland: A Novel by Darryl Pinckney:

The first city to be mentioned in the Bible was built by an outcast. Poor Cain. The Lord rejected his harvest offering and then told him it was his own fault. How smug Abel must have been, but we mustn’t blame the victim. After all, that mark Cain negotiated from the Lord saved his life while Abel’s flock grieved for the touch of its dead master.
