Synopsis
Reimagining the black neighborhood of his youth Homewood, Pittsburgh -Wideman creates a dazzling and evocative milieu. From the wild and uninhibited 1920s to the narcotized 1970s, "he establishes aamythological and symbolic link between character and landscape, language and plot, that in the hands of a less visionary writer might be little more than stale sociology" (New York Times Book Review).

From the Inside Flap
ovel in which "Mr. Wideman returns to the ghetto where he was raised and transforms it into a magical location...and establishes a mythological and symbolic link between character and landscape." --New York Times Book Review
