The Wind Done Gone: A Novel

"Alas, the legal battle surrounding this first novel is more interesting than the book itself....THE WIND DONE GONE is a fairly obvious study in contrasts with Mitchell's original, and not just because of its simple reversals of the racism in Mitchell's work (in Randall's story, it's the white characters who are portrayed as foolish incompetents)....Where Mitchell's novel was epic, vibrant and accessible, Randall's narrative is spare, flat and oblique.Alice Randall is the author of 'The Wind Done Gone: A Novel' with ISBN 9780618104505 and ISBN 061810450X.
