An collection of critical essays on the black experience at the
turn of the twenty-first century draws on examples from pop
culture, politics, and the arts in a volume that includes such
pieces as the title essay, On the Stroll: The Pimping of Three 6
Mafia and The Trouble with Harry. Original.
A TIME TO REAP tells the story of the Founier family, fractured not
only by war but by their own feelings toward themselves and each
other. As Patrick struggles through his tour of duty in Vietnam,
his estranged wife and three children, at home in Louisiana, are
forced to deal with their own very individual troubles. In this
coming-of-age novel, Pulitzer nominee William Cobb delivers a
mesmerizing portrayal of a household divided by war, addiction and
the pains of self-discovery. PRAISE FOR A TIME TO REAP William Cobb
has written his finest novel yet, a beautifully rendered and
unforgettable masterpiece of love in the time of war. The battle
scenes are the most vivid and compelling I've ever read.
- Pat Conroy A Time to Reap is a stunner, so beautifully written
that it takes my breath away. Populated by vivid, highly complex
characters, William Cobb's novel brings to life a troubling piece
of America's not-so-distant past.
- Cassandra King A Time To Reap is William Cobb's best novel yet.
It is a swift and compelling read and its subject and thematic
resonances are both fresh and important. Small town life has been
written about before, but its ability to limit the scope of its
citizens and to compress their horizons has never seemed more
convincing and real. It is an expertly written book, gritty,
realistic, and moving. The reader will come to identify with every
character.
- Sena Jeter Naslund I could not put this suspenseful novel down.
Capturing the effects of the Vietnam war upon a serviceman's entire
family, A Time to Reap also contains deep implications for our own
time. The entire family is deeply, brilliantly brought to
life---especially the children who manage to grow and survive their
dysfunctional parents as they all come to a deeper understanding of
their lives. A rich, compelling page-turner.
- Lee Smith ** This book contains some adult content **
This collection of short stories, written over a fifty year
duration, offer a glimpse of how the Southern States of America
have changed in the last 130 years. The cultural and social
adjustments in these states, and particularly Alabama, are
admirably and enjoyably reflected within these eclectic stories.
Ranging from tales of post-civil war strifes and strains, to
intensely personal reflections and stories about the racial
tensions in the deep south, these narratives encompass observation,
tragedy and a certain charm, as well as touching a personal chord
and resonating the atmosphere of a unique time and place.
