Publisher's Synopsis
Explores a more difficult landscape than many of its angrier and grittier brethren, pushing readers into the minds of the sort of African-American Angelenos that most books, movies, and hip-hop music ignore. Resisting the peer pressure to posture macho, Tervalon is freer to flex his wit, work out his fine observational skills, and inject his warmth into the yarn. A daring book. Los Angeles Times.
