Blanche Boyd, Tomb of the Unknown Racist. Blanche McCrary Boyd's first novel in twenty years continues the story of her protagonist Ellen Burns. When Tomb of the Unknown Racist opens in 1999, Ellen--now sober, haunted by her activist past, her failed relationships--is peacefully taking care of her demented mother in South Carolina. Ellen's brother, Royce, was a celebrated novelist who, a decade earlier, saw his work adopted by racists and fell under the sway of white supremacy. Ellen thought him dead from a botched FBI raid on his compound. But when his estranged daughter turns up on the news claiming he might be responsible for kidnapping her two mixed-race children, Ellen travels to New Mexico to help her newfound niece. The book chronicles Ellen's search for Royce, her descent into the dark abyss of the simmering race war in the country, and the confrontation that occurs when she learns the truth about her family's past. Tomb of the Unknown Racist is a thrilling novel set in the shadow of the Oklahoma City bombing, the subculture of white supremacy, and deep state government. A family drama set against political and racial struggle, it is a tour de force end to a trilogy by a stunning writer whose work has offered a resonant survey of politics and activism across the American experience. Blanche McCrary Boyd has taught at Connecticut College since 1982. She has written four novels-- Terminal Velocity , The Revolution of Little Girls , Mourning the Death of Magic , and Nerves --as well as a collection of essays, The Redneck Way of Knowledge . Among the awards Boyd has won are a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fiction Fellowship, a Creative Writing Fellowship from the South Carolina Arts Commission, and a Wallace Stegner Fellowship in Creative Writing from Stanford University.

Read the review. Publishers Weekly: “This bold, funny, and political novel—Boyd’s first in 20 years—returns readers to the singular voice of Ellen Burns. . . . With the trappings of a thriller, Boyd’s meditation on family bonds and white guilt is a curious but rewarding departure for the loudmouthed and hilarious Ellen, and a satisfyingly strange conclusion to the arc of her wild life.” Read the review. Kirkus Reviews: “A wildly ambitious page-turner that defies easy categorization . . . A family drama with all the flourishes of a thriller. Discombobulating—in a good way.” David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon: “Blanche McCrary Boyd is a literary treasure, and her new novel, Tomb of the Unknown Racist, is a monumental achievement. Gripping and powerful, it illuminates the intricacies of love and betrayal and the pernicious disease of racism —and, in the process, plumbs the depths of the American soul.” Hanna Tinti, author of the bestselling novel, The Good Thief: “In THE REVOLUTION OF LITTLE GIRLS and TERMINAL VELOCITY, wild child Ellen Burns breaks and rebuilds herself over and over while questioning the world with her razor-sharp, southern wit. Now author Blanche Boyd gives us Ellen’s thrilling final chapter. Part detective story, part spiritual quest, TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN RACIST explores the intricate world of the white supremacy movement, and the treacherous ways that racism shatters families and spreads its dark roots across America. Former addict, fugitive, and radical outlaw Ellen Burns pieces together the mystery of her right-wing brother’s death and the tragic kidnapping of his grandchildren, while trying to stay sober and falling in and out of bed with the men and women who cross her path. A character both innocent and wise, searching and grounded, she sees the worst in the good, and the good in the worst. We need more “old outlaws” like Ellen Burns, who try to right the wrongs of the world, even when they’re impossible to change.” About the Book. Blanche’s first novel in twenty years continues the story of her compelling and edgy protagonist Ellen Burns. When TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN RACIST opens in 1999, Ellen—now sober, haunted by her activist past, her failed relationships, the world at large—is peacefully taking care of her demented mother in South Carolina. Ellen’s brother Royce was a celebrated novelist who, a decade earlier, saw his work adopted by racists and fell under the sway of white supremacy. Ellen thought him dead from a botched FBI raid on his compound. But when his estranged daughter turns up on the news, claiming he might be responsible for kidnapping her two mixed-race children, Ellen travels to New Mexico to help her newfound niece. The book chronicles Ellen’s search for Royce, her descent into the dark abyss of the burgeoning race war of our country, and the confrontation that occurs when she learns the truth about her family’s past. TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN RACIST is a thrilling novel set in the shadow of the Oklahoma City bombing and the subculture of white supremacy and deep state government that is horribly applicable to today’s news cycle. A family story set against political and racial struggle, it is based on real life events surrounding William Luther Pierce, Timothy McVeigh, and the Oklahoma City Bombing. The tour de force end to a trilogy, that like no other fiction, has offered a survey of politics and activism across the American experience. Blanche McCrary Boyd grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, the source of her ‘redneck’ roots, and much of her writing radiates from her Southern background. Her works traverse the racial and political contradictions of the second half of the 20th century, intertwining personal and psychological adventures with feminist protests, lesbianism, racial conflicts, and a confrontation with the violent white supremacist subculture. Biography. Photo by the wonderful Rollie McKenna, back when I looked better. Always thought I’d pack my own chute. Ha! This orchid is a hybrid and so am I. Blanche McCrary Boyd (born 1945) is an American novelist, journalist, essayist, and professor. She is the author of five novels and a collection of autobiographical journalism, THE REDNECK WAY OF KNOWLEDGE, 1981). Her newest novel, TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN RACIST (2018), completes The Blacklock Trilogy. TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN RACIST is narrated by the same character as THE REVOLUTION OF LITTLE GIRLS (1991) and TERMINAL VELOCITY (1997), although the three novels function independently. Boyd’s essays and reporting have appeared in venues such as the New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Ms, Vanity Fair, and Village Voice. Blanche McCrary Boyd grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, the source of her ‘redneck’ roots, and much of her writing radiates from her Southern background. Her works traverse the racial and political contradictions of the second half of the 20th century, intertwining personal and psychological adventures with feminist protests, lesbianism, racial conflicts, and a confrontation with the violent white supremacist subculture. All of Boyd’s work reveals a continual exploration of the relationship of fiction and nonfiction. Her nonfiction involves both personal revelation and reporting, and her fiction combines autobiographical elements with real-world events. To cover the Susan Smith trial, Boyd first took her mother to spend Mother’s Day at the lake where Susan was convicted of murdering her two children “to ask Momma why she didn’t drown us”, and then used this event to frame detailed reporting and an analysis of the Smith case. In TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN RACIST she combines the factual white terrorist Silent Brotherhood and the Oklahoma City Bombing with the narrator’s imagined younger brother. Boyd’s writings are by turns hilarious, heartbreaking, and smart. She has disavowed her first two novels, NERVES (1973) and MOURNING THE DEATH OF MAGIC (1977) as “talented but not good, because I was still playing my violin about the sad songs of life.” It was while writing for the Village Voice that she discovered “my real voice.” The pieces collected in THE REDNECK WAY OF KNOWLEDGE were all first published in the Village Voice, as were the first three chapters of THE REVOLUTION OF LITTLE GIRLS. Among the awards Boyd has received are a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship, a South Carolina Arts Commission Fellowship, and a Wallace Stegner Fellowship in Creative Writing at Stanford University. In 1991 THE REVOLUTION OF LITTLE GIRLS won both the Lambda Award and the Ferro-Grumley Award for Lesbian Fiction, and it was also nominated for the Southern Book Award. Boyd is well-known as a teacher and mentor. She is the Roman S. and Tatiana Weller Professor English and Writer-in-Residence at Connecticut College, where she has been teaching creative writing for more than thirty years. Among her many students have been writers Sloane Crosley, Jazmine Hughes, Lee Eisenberg, Jessica Soffer, William Lychack, David Grann, Ann Napolitano, Jonathan Fahey, Hannah Tinti and Mehdi Okasi. Boyd directs The Daniel Klagsbrun Symposium on Writing and Moral Vision at Connecticut College, where she has interviewed and hosted readings by Margaret Atwood, David Sedaris, Gloria Naylor, Art Spiegelman, Michael Cunningham, Amy Tan, Dorothy Allison as well as many others. “This event works because I invite people I actually want to talk to.” Tomb of the Unknown Racist by Blanche McCrary Boyd.
