In 1918, Arthur Champion is one of a handful of Black students attending the Oberlin Conservatory of Music when he runs afoul of a vindictive professor and finds himself unceremoniously enlisted in the United States Army. What ensues is one man’s sweeping voyage through the decade, a kaleidoscopic view of America during seismic social shifts.
A brilliant interrogation of racism and ownership in art, Serious Music is a breakneck, high-octane read, thrumming with electrifying humor and rigorous moral clarity.
