Mr. Kenan died three weeks before his short story collection, “If I Had Two Wings,” was selected as one of 10 nominees for the National Book Award for fiction, the winner of which will be announced on Oct. 6.
In his novel, “A Visitation of Spirits” (1989), and in two short story collections that were published 28 years apart, Mr. Kenan (pronounced KEY-nan) developed the fictional Tims Creek, a backwater founded by a runaway slave named Pharaoh.
