About

On December 3, 1976, a violent attack on Bob Marley's home in Jamaica, just before the Smile Jamaica concert, left the singer, his wife, and others injured. Marlon James' "A Brief History of Seven Killings" is a fictional exploration of this turbulent time, delving into the lives of assassins, drug lords, journalists, and ghosts who navigated Kingston's streets in the 1970s, dominated New York's drug underworld in the 1980s, and reemerged in a transformed Jamaica in the 1990s. This epic and award-winning novel vividly portrays a complex web of characters against a backdrop of political unrest and cultural change.
