John Vercher's Devil is Fine shares the personal struggle of a biracial man grieving the loss of his son while also coming to terms with a painful inheritance from his white mother's father. Vercher's prose is smart and funny while also conveying the dreamy confusion of emotional exhaustion. This book surprised me over and over again.
