Book Description
A serious relationship isn’t the main thing on Porter Washington’s mind. At least not after he leaves his girlfriend when he learns her baby isn’t his. Who needs it? He’s a fine Detroit firefighter, and women practically throw themselves at him. But something’s missing in his life. Something that will take a near-fatal beating for Porter to find. The mother of two children by different men, Winona Fairchild has made more than her share of mistakes in life—a fact her father never lets her forget. But now she’s coming home from Texas to try to get things right. She’s got a great new job, her own house, a fledging Tiger Woods in her son—and a devastating secret that could destroy it all. It’s a small world—even in a city as big as Detroit. Can their pain and regret fade into the past and their futures look as bright as day? “A gifted writer, one of the best among contemporary African-American novelists on the scene today.”—Book Remarks

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
"The Diary of Albert Wang: October 2009-December 2009" starts its narrative a little bit before his 33rd birthday. Encompassing much controversy as the first (most likely) public journal executed as a transcript of this performance artist's text messages during this time period, this book provides a profound look into the artist/writer's daily activities ranging from the business-like to the sexual/passionate tone. The secret life of a run-of-the-mill Salt Lake City resident and displaced New Yorker reveals too many details without flinching yet enveloping the essence of a single Asian male obsessed with daily text messaging and living as a work of art just like On Kawara with his date paintings and postcards. The reader will be taken on this intellectually salacious, experimental journey.
