An imaginative young boy from the Bronx goes swimming with his group from day camp at a backyard pool in the suburbs, and faces the effects of power and privilege in ways he can barely grasp. A teen intent on proving himself a man through the all-night revel of J'Ouvert can't help but look out for his impressionable younger brother. A pair of college boys on the prowl follow two girls home from a party and have to own the uncomfortable truth of their desires. And at a Capoeira conference, two brothers grapple with how to tell the story of their family, caught in the dance of their painful, fractured history. Jamel Brinkley's stories, in a debut that announces the arrival of a significant new voice, reflect the tenderness and vulnerability of black men and boys whose hopes sometimes betray them, especially in a world shaped by race, gender, and class--where luck may be the greatest fiction of all."--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Brinkley Checked In Add Copy to MyList
