Mr. Sebastian and the Negro Magician by Daniel Wallace

Mr. Sebastian and the Negro Magician
304 pages; Doubleday
Just go with it. Mr. Sebastian and the Negro Magician (Doubleday) is Daniel Wallace's (Big Fish) latest grand illusion of a novel, in which a white man turns himself black, the devil plays mind games, and a carnival magic show opens windows onto darker realities. Outlandish invention with a real-life core.
