520 1 $a"The world of Jeffery Renard Allen's short-story collection is a place like no other. A recognizable city, certainly, but one in which a young man might sprout wings or copper pennies might rain from the skies. But these are no fairy tales - Allen's sensitivity to the realities of African-American life is assuredly contemporary. The protagonists often circle each other with steely determination: a grandson taunts his grandmother, determined to expose her secret past; for years, a woman grows obsessed with trying to keep a menacing neighbor away from her brother; and in the local police station, an officer and a prisoner try to break each other's resolve."--BOOK JACKET.
