Episode 328: Rickey Fayne's Debut Novel Weaves a Multigeneration Tale from Slave Ship to Contemporary Times

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Rickey Fayne about his debut novel, THE DEVIL THREE TIMES. Covering eight generations of a Black family in West Tennessee, from the slave ship to contemporary times, Fayne creates a narrative rich with historical context, emotional depth, and Black folklore. In the interview, he talked about how his writing reflects his Black Southern upbringing and aims to honor the experiences of his ancestors. Fayne also revealed how his novel was influenced by Zora Neale Hurston's folklore collection, OF MULES AND MEN.
