The Bloodworth Orphans (Paperback, University of Chicago Press ed)

Leon Forrest, acclaimed author of Divine Days, uses a remarkable verbal intensity to evoke human tragedy, injustice, and spirituality in his writing. As Toni Morrison has said, All of Forrest's novels explore the complex legacy of Afro-Americans. Like an insistent tide this history . . . swells and recalls America's past. . . . Brooding, hilarious, acerbic and profoundly valued life has no more astute observer than Leon Forrest. All of that is on display here in a novel that give readers a breathtaking view of the human experience, filled with humor and pathos.
