A man lay dead in a parking lot. Tommy didn't kill him, but the police will shoot first and ask questions later. Mother Bess is kin, but she is a crazy, mean old lady hiding out high about the Homewood streets--streets that have taken away everything she ever loved. Together, Tommy and Mother Bess are hiding, in anger and fear. Will they find the courage to come out of hiding?

Mother Bess was a crazy, half-dead, mean old lady living in a shack, but she was kin. And he had nowhere else to go. A man lay dead in a parking lot. Tommy hadn't killed him, hadn't even gotten the money - but the police would play John Wayne, shoot first and ask questions later. So Tommy was hiding out from another failure, like his failure to be a husband to his wife, a father to his son. Mother Bess was hiding too, high above the Homewood streets where people still cried and made love like it made a difference; hiding from the world that had taken her man and their son, that always finds something else to kill, no matter how much you've buried already. In anger and fear, in taunts and dreams, Tommy and Mother Bess will recall what they have lost. And they will find the courage to come out of hiding. The PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER ranks John Wideman 'up with Baldwin and Claude Brown and possibly beyond them.' 'He can write,' says THE NEW YORK TIMES; 'He can make an ordinary scene sing the blues like nobody's business.' inventory #7263. N° de réf. du vendeur z7263
