The legends say something happened in Chaneysville. The Chaneysville Incident is the powerful story of one man's obsession with discovering what that something was--a quest that takes the brilliant and bitter young black historian John Washington back through the secrets and buried evil of his heritage. Returning home to care for and then bury his father's closest friend and his own guardian, Old Jack Crawley, he comes upon the scant records of his family's proud and tragic history, which he drives himself to reconstruct and accept. This is the story of John's relationship with his family, the town, and the woman he loves; and also between the past and the present, between oppression and guilt, hate and violence, love and acceptance.

"The Chaneysville Incident rivals Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon as the best novel about the black experience in America since Ellison's Invisible Man." — Christian Science Monitor\nUpdated with a new foreword by the author in celebration of its fortieth anniversary, the classic PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novel about a man’s obsessive quest to uncover the circumstances of his father’s death and his town’s murky history. 
Legend has it something happened in Chaneysville . . . 
John Washington is coming home to Chaneysville. Old Jack Crawley, his father's closest friend and John’s guardian, is dying, and the young man will care for him in his final days. 
For the brilliant and embittered black historian, it is a return that will plunge him deep into the past, into the dark secrets of this town and the buried evil of his heritage. Investigating the death of his father, Moses, a moonshiner with a difficult past, John must come to terms with his family’s proud and tragic history and the terrible truth of this white rural town close to the Mason Dixon line— a waystation for slaves traveling along the Underground Railroad—that he once called home. 
The Chaneysville Incident is the story of John's relationship with his family, his hometown, and the woman he loves—and the indelible bonds between past and present, oppression and bondage, history and myth, faith and guilt, love and acceptance.
