Earlier this week, David Remnick announced “The Hemingses of Monticello,” by Annette Gordon-Reed, as the February selection for The New Yorkers new-look Book Club. Remnick writes: “As skilled in storytelling as she is in the forensics of research, Gordon-Reed is fearless in her exploration of eighteenth-century Virginia and the contradictions of Jefferson’s private and public attitudes toward race and slavery.”

In honor of the selection, the Covers Contest has assembled a group of classic American narratives about slavery. Good luck!
