A LESSON BEFORE DYING by Ernest J. Gaines, read by Jay Long
Jefferson, a young black man, is unjustly accused of murdering a white man in a small Louisiana town in the 1940s. The themes of social justice and personal redemption make this a community-read choice from the NEA’s Big Read. Jay Long gives the dialogue a liveliness and passion. Reviewed by Leslie Fine.
