American-born Margaret Mansour wants nothing more than to rekindle the struggling 20-year marriage to her Palestinian husband, Ahmed — but not if it means uprooting their home and children in America and moving halfway across the world. Young and ambitious Alison Mansour has a degree in Near East Studies, but her American education and Syrian background are of no use when her new marriage begins to crumble under the weight of cultural and religious differences.

After a successful revolt in 1846 that reversed the roles of slaves and masters, modern-day America is now dominated by a wealthy, Black ruling class, and Whites are dealing with decades of oppression and prejudice. When his father, a civil rights attorney, is killed after defending a White man, 17-year-old Willie Gibbons is forced to move to Michigan with his uncle and thrust into the heart of the racial divide. The Crown Lord is a stark and jarring look at race, class, and the American Dream that will keep listeners on edge.

Ramón Martínez es un abogado de éxito. Es decir, que vive de las palabras. Hasta el día en que se enferma, literalmente, de la lengua. En una muda tragicomedia desencadenada por este diagnóstico, acompañan a Ramón su esposa Carmela, que tendrá que volver a litigar después de veinte años de ama de casa, y sus hijos adolescentes, Paulina y Mateo, cuyos mayores intereses son la comida y el onanismo. Una familia ordinaria que, como en la cita célebre, se distingue por su desgracia.
