Barlowe, a single, BLACK in his forties, shares a ramshackle house with his nephew in an Atlanta neighborhood, the old Fourth Ward, known both as the guts of the civil rights movement and for its main street, Auburn Avenue, once the richest Negro street on the planet. Barlowe works as a printer and passes the time reading books from a nearby library and hanging out with other local black men at the corner store. Whenever a white married couple buys and renovates the home next door, everyone tries to start their daily business, but fear and suspicion build as more whites move around in, making once familiar people and places disappear. Superbly developed characters, realistic story line, and descriptions that capture the essence of American urban experience--in black and white--make this a great American novel.
