Triangle Ray is a collection of short stories linked by the
character of Ray Fielding, introduced first as a young black man
coming of age in the 1980s and infatuated with his schoolmate,
Marie. Against the wishes of their families, the two marry just out
of high school, but the marriage falls apart within a few years as
time makes them strangers to each other. Twenty years later, Ray is
unmarried and still searching for a lasting romance, especially
with Alma, whom he meets at the hotel where he works. Through his
interactions with Marie, Alma, and others, Ray explores the motives
behind the ways we retell our stories, and how we ignore or embrace
the future that is already taking shape in the present. A keen
observer of social factors and class disparity, John Holman writes
with sharp prose and startling insight, and employs diverse form
and point of view to examine issues of race and class within the
context of Ray's romantic aspirations.
