Description
Witness by Jamel Brinkley is an electrifying collection of stories that take us into the heart of contemporary New York City. With prose as beautiful and artfully crafted as it is powerful, Brinkley offers a nuanced portrayal of life, death, and change in the city. We meet children, grandmothers, and even ghosts as they strive to connect, stand up for, and really see each other. Their relationships shape not only their own futures but those of their families and their city. In its portraits of families and friendships, Witness enacts its own testimony - a world where fortunes can be made and stolen in a generation, where strangers sometimes show kindness while those we trust too often turn away. Here is a world where joy comes in snatches, and the full scope of life and death and change are laid bare. Witness is an exhilarating and impactful read that will leave you with a deeper understanding of the city and its residents' lives.
