About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Pantheon, 2008. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. ARC. New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Advance Reader's Edition. Author of PRETTY LITTLE DIRTY. A gritty, unflinching tale about the clash of race and culture in the intersedting lives of five families who call the same New Orleans street home. It's the summer of 2004. Daniel Harris--a.k.a. Fearius--a black fifteen-year-old, is just out of juvenile detention. Ed Flank and Ariel May, a middle-class white couple from Minneapolis, are ready to embrace the diversity of this Southern city. The Guptas are new to the block and possess the kind of elegance and exoticism that invite speculation, especially from longtinme residents Cerise Brown and Beauregard de Bruges. In five deftly realized voices we hear these neighbor' surprisingly similar hopes and desires, their deeply held fears and furies, and a powerful story of love and family. New, ARC, in pictorial trade paperback. L111
