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).
A stunning novel. "Mr. Wideman returns to the ghetto where he was raised and transforms it into a magical location."--New York Times Review of Books

This book is amazing. like, "how do people get these things in their heads??" style of writing. Just the way he describes and links things...And, it was like The Known World in a way where Wideman could make certain commentary through an unconventional situation with Brother Tate and his being an albino and what that meant to his community and family. It was hard to follow at first but once i got the hang of it, I could appreciate it so much more. Though, I did have to re-read a lot of paragraphs still. Anyway, excited to read the others in the Homewood series. I think this was my favorite novel we had to read for this lit class.
