Reviews
"It is the force of Mr. Gaines's character and intelligence, operating through [his] deceptively quiet style, that makes his fiction compelling. . . . The dialogue is spare, but unerring, and humor will keep slipping in subtly despite the tragedies behind these lives." --Larry McMurty, The New York Times Book Review "He write's eloquently of the frustrated love between fathers and sons. . . . His best writing is marked by what Ralph Ellison, describing the blues, call 'near-tragic, near-comic lyricism.'" --Margo Jefferson, Newsweek "The dialogue is mesmerizing. . . . The characterizations come right off the page. . . . No one writes about mainstream, ordinary black life as well as he does." --Ishmael Reed "It would make a gripping play with its tight plot and strong scenes of confrontation, its Ibsenite central character." -- The Washington Post, "It is the force of Mr. Gaines's character and intelligence, operating through [his] deceptively quiet style, that makes his fictioni compelling. . . .

Synopsis
A compelling novel of a man brought to reckon with his buried past... In St. Adrienne, a small black community in Louisiana, Reverend Phillip Martin-a respected minister and civil rights leader-comes face to face with the sins of his youth in the person of Robert X, a young, unkempt stranger who arrives in town for a mysterious "meeting" with the Reverend. In the confrontation between the two, the young man's secret burden explodes into the open, and Phillip Martin begins a long-neglected journey into his youth to discover how destructive his former life was, for himself and for those around him. "...on every page there's an authentic moment, or a dead-right knot of conversation, or a truer-than-true turn of phrase..."- Kirkus Reviews, A compelling novel of a man brought to reckon with his buried past...

- o***h (25)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaItem arrived in good condition, as described. I was a bit concerned when the item wouldn’t track after a label had been created for shipping (according to shipping updates provided). Upon contacting the seller I received assurance that the the item had just shipped. Then the item started tracking within a day and made its way to me. No complaints on my end, but initially I was worried something had gone wrong. Once it had shipped I received an updated delivery date and then it arrived promptly.A Certain Scientific Accelerator Vol. 3 (#405411853463)
- a***v (277)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBeautiful book, in condition described. This seller is operating in a strange way. You order the book, the shipping label is created (and ebay considers it "shipped" , and the shipment status never changes, until you, the customer, asks 2 weeks later where the book it. After the ultimatum of please credit or ship in 48 hr, the book ships and arrives no problem.Printmaking Revolution: New Advancements in Technology, Safety, and Sustainabili (#405411314100)
- e***9 (697)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI had ordered this book to give as a gift. I contacted the seller when the item did not arrive on time and they immediately refunded the entire amount (inc s/h) and asked me to let them know if/when it does arrive. It finally did arrive (16 days after shipping!), and when I contacted them the seller wrote back a lovely note and said to keep the item as a gift. I highly recommend this seller!The Little Book of Jewish Celebrations (#296871466599)
