A magnificent, multifaceted novel about a supremely gifted -- and divided --
family, set against the backdrop of postwar America
"The best black novel to appear in America since 'Beloved' has just been
written by a white man.... Powers is looking more and more like a genius....
With this daring act of literary miscegenation, Powers has orchestrated a cast
of characters rich enough to pose the most forbidden questions about race but
sensitive enough to capture the most intimate struggle for identity."
