Hardcover ~ AJ Richardson, the hero of Harris's raucous latest, has
been the secret boyfriend of NBA star Drayton Jones for seven years. AJ is only

gold-digger Judi Ledbetter nets Dray and his fat wallet, things get tricky.
Soon, they're married, Judi gets pregnant, and she's gunning to drive AJ out

 Best
African American Fiction: 2009 by
E. Lynn Harris and
Gerald Early (Author) (Paperback
- Jan 13, 2009) Other Editions:
Kindle Edition,
Hardcover ~ Introducing the first volume in an exciting new annual
anthology featuring the year’s most outstanding fiction by some of today’s
finest African American writers. From stories that depict black life in
times gone by to those that address contemporary issues, this inaugural
volume gathers the very best recent African American fiction. Created during
a period of electrifying political dialogue and cultural, social, and
economic change that is sure to captivate the imaginations of writers and
readers for years to come, these short stories and novel excerpts explore a
rich variety of subjects. But most of all, they represent exceptional
artistry. Here you’ll find work by both established names and up-and-comers,
ranging from
Walter Dean Myers to
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,
Mat Johnson, and
Junot Díaz. They write
about subjects as diverse as the complexities of black middle-class life and
the challenges of interracial relationships, a modern-day lynching in the
South and a young musician’s coming-of-age during the Harlem Renaissance.
What unites these stories, whether set in suburbia, in eighteenth-century
New York City, or on a Caribbean island that is supposed to be “brown skin
paradise,” is their creators’ passionate engagement with matters of the
human heart. |
