The nation's capital that serves as the setting for the stories
in Edward P. Jones's prizewinning collection, Lost in the City,
lies far from the city of historic monuments and national
politicians. Jones takes the reader beyond that world into the
lives of African American men and women who work against the
constant threat of loss to maintain a sense of hope. From "The Girl
Who Raised Pigeons" to the well-to-do career woman awakened in the
night by a phone call that will take her on a journey back to the
past, the characters in these stories forge bonds of community as
they struggle against the limits of their city to stave off the
loss of family, friends, memories, and, ultimately, themselves.
Critically acclaimed upon publication, Lost in the City
introduced Jones as an undeniable talent, a writer whose unaffected
style is not only evocative and forceful but also filled with
insight and poignancy.
