“Provocative . . . Persuasively describes the phenomenon of
belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to
neither.”

intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and
race.”

belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride’s The Color of
Water and Gregory Howard Williams’s Life on the Color Line as a
tale of living astride America’s racial categories.” —Scott

savoring.”
