About This Item
Flamingo Publishing -, 1981. PB/Pub.1981/Fair condition/205 pages - A runaway slave founded Homewood a century ago. The community had grown, and the family with it. [K28483]. Soft Cover. Good.
Synopsis
This collection of interrelated stories spans the history of Homewood, a Pittsburgh community founded by a runaway slave. With stunning lyricism, Wideman sings of "dead children in garbage cans, of gospel and basketball, of lost gods and dead fathers" (John Leonard). It is a celebration of people who, in the face of crisis, uphold one another--with grace, courage, and dignity.
