From the โmesmerizing storytellerโ (The New Yorker) and author of the bestselling memoir Makes Me Wanna Holler presents a profound novelโin the tradition of Tom Wolfeโs The Bonfire of the Vanities and Zadie Smithโs White Teethโthat captures the dynamics of class and race in today's urban integrated communities.
Barlowe Reed is a single, forty-something Black American who rents a ramshackle house on Randolph Street in Atlanta, just a stoneโs throw from the historic birth home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Barlowe, who works as a printer, otherwise passes the time reading and hanging out with other men at the corner store. He shares his home and loner existence with a streetwise, twentysomething nephew who is struggling to get his troubled life back on track.
When Sean and Sandy Gilmore, a young white couple, move in next door, Barlowe and Sandy develop a reluctant, complex friendship as they hold probingโoften frustratingโconversations over the backyard fence.
Members of both households, and their neighbors as well, try to go about their business, tending to their homes and jobs. However, fear and suspicion buildโand clashes ensueโwith each passing day, as more and more new whites move in and make changes and once familiar people and places disappear.
Using a blend of superbly developed characters in a story that captures the essence of this countryโs struggles with the unsettling realities of gentrification, Nathan McCall has produced a truly great American novel.
