One World to Publish New Nonfiction by Ta-Nehisi Coates
One World will publish Ta-Nehisi Coates's The Message, the author's first all-new nonfiction book in nearly a decade, on October 1.
The Message incorporates reportage from Palestine, Senegal, and South Carolina—three places that, per the publisher's announcement, "have been profoundly shaped and riven by contested accounts of meaning and reality."
The announcement continues, "Weaving together on-the-ground reportage, personal narrative, and insightful dives into literature and history, he tries to clarify what’s real beneath layers of propaganda, wishful thinking, and enforced silence—and why we are so often misled, with sometimes catastrophic consequences.”
One World publisher and editor-in-chief Chris Jackson acquired world rights from Gloria Loomis at the Watkins Loomis Agency.
