Boston. 1992. February 1992. Little Brown. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. Remainder Mark. 0316560561. 194 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Steve Snider. Jacket illustration by Jerry Pinckney. keywords: Literature America Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In voices that are hip and raunchy, bemused and sardonic, award-winning writer Reginald McKnight conjures a chorus of narratives that reveal the African-American middle class to be a crucible of human experience. Outrageously inventive, disarmingly comic, and urgently disturbing, this collection brings a disparate cast of characters face to face with fault lines of identity and the limbo of living between cultures. A military brat, in the title story; stalked by a menacing bully in a small Texas town, discovers a greater threat within himself. A writer encounters the devouring power of his own creation in The Homunculus.' Roscoe, a young bookworm with social ambitions, OD's on crack and spends his first funky day in hell. A doting grandmother confronts her family's legacy of violence in Into Night.' The young marine in Facetime,' desperate to lose his virginity, entrusts his manhood to a couple of dangerous friends. For each of these characters, the world is revealed to be a place of fragile balances, threatened by the most obvious and terrible truths. inventory #19292 ISBN: 0316560561.
