“A full-bodied literary achievement bustling with sweat, regret,
and sound.” —KIESE LAYMON Ndiya Grayson returns to her
childhood home of Chicago as a young professional, but even her
high-end job in a law office can’t protect her from
half-repressed memories of childhood trauma. One evening,
vulnerable and emotionally disarrayed, she goes out and meets her
equal and opposite: Shame Luther, a no-nonsense construction worker
by day and a self-taught piano player by night. The love story that
ensues propels them on an unforgettable journey from Chicago’s
South Side to the coast of Kenya as they navigate the turbulence of
long-buried pasts and an uncertain future. A stirring novel tuned
to the clash between soul music’s vision of our essential
responsibility to each other and a world that breaks us down and
tears us apart, Another Kind of Madness is an indelible tale of
human connection.
