Description
Dr Nzinga's clinic promises to liberate you from the confines of being born in a black body, but at what cost? In this near-future Southern city plagued by fenced-in ghettos and police violence, more and more residents are turning to this experimental medical procedure.
A father's desire to protect his son drives him to make a choice that will change their lives forever. As Nigel's black birthmark grows, so does the fear of what the future may hold. Will he go too far to ensure his son's survival?
This electrifying novel is both a scathing satire of surviving racism in America and a profoundly moving family story. With prose that evokes the clear vision of Ralph Ellison, the dizzying menace of Franz Kafka, and the crackling style of Vladimir Nabokov, Maurice Carlos Ruffin's work is not to be missed.
