Story
Set in a middle-class neighborhood in Atlanta in the 1980s, Silver Sparrow revolves around James Witherspoon's two families - the public one and the secret one. When the daughters from each family meet and form a friendship, only one of them knows they are sisters. It is a relationship destined to explode when secrets are revealed and illusions shattered. As Jones explores the backstories of her rich yet flawed characters - the father, the two mothers, the grandmother, and the uncle - she also reveals the joy, as well as the destruction, they brought to one another's lives.

Story
Motherhood isn’t easy, especially when you’re a mother of a Black son. Ten years ago, Cheryl jumped at the chance to send her son, Javonte, to an exclusive boarding school in New England - far away from Atlanta and the violence of the city streets. It was the American dream, or was it? Now settled in Vermont, Javonte is married and well-employed, but Cheryl hardly ever sees him, and when she does, her own son seems like someone she only used to know.

Story
"Mon père, James Witherspoon, est bigame." C'est par cette confession percutante que Dana Lynn Yarboro débute le récit d'une enfance pas comme les autres au sein de la communauté afro-américaine d'Atlanta, dans les années 1980. Bien que née quatre mois avant sa demi-sœur Chaurisse, Dana est pourtant l'enfant illégitime, fruit d'une union illicite. L'une est un secret à qui James rend visite une fois par semaine tandis que l'autre mène une vie stable auprès de ses deux parents, inconsciente de son privilège.

Story
Virtuosic in his use of literary forms, nurtured and unbounded by his identities as a Black man, a gay man, an intellectual, and a Southerner, Randall Kenan was known for his groundbreaking fiction. Less visible were his extraordinary nonfiction essays, published as introductions to anthologies and in small journals, revealing countless facets of Kenan's life and work. Flying under the radar, these writings were his most personal and autobiographical. Here too is his intellectual coming of age. This powerful collection is a testament to a great mind, a great soul, and a great writer.
