Overview
Set in North Carolina, these are stories about blacks and whites, young and old, rural and sophisticated, the real and fantastical. Named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, nominated for the 1992 National Book Critics Circle Award, and given the Lambda Award.
Folk in the eastern North Carolina town of Tims Creek are pretty much like folk anywhere else, only more interesting--at least when Randall Kenan tells their stories. Here are tales about blacks and whites, young and old, rich and poor, rural and sophisticated--stories at once grittily down to earth and soaringly fantastical.
