Black Bottom Saints
Author: Alice Randall
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062968653
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
An enthralling literary tour-de-force that pays tribute to Detroit's legendary neighborhood, a mecca for jazz, sports, and politics, Black Bottom Saints is a powerful blend of fact and imagination reminiscent of E.L. Doctorow's classic novel Ragtime and Marlon James' Man Booker Award-winning masterpiece, A Brief History of Seven Killings. From the Great Depression through the post-World War II years, Joseph “Ziggy” Johnson, has been the pulse of Detroit’s famous Black Bottom. A celebrated gossip columnist for the city’s African-American newspaper, the Michigan Chronicle, he is also the emcee of one of the hottest night clubs, where he’s rubbed elbows with the legendary black artists of the era, including Ethel Waters, Billy Eckstein, and Count Basie. Ziggy is also the founder and dean of the Ziggy Johnson School of Theater. But now the doyen of Black Bottom is ready to hang up his many dapper hats. As he lays dying in the black-owned-and-operated Kirkwood Hospital, Ziggy reflects on his life, the community that was the center of his world, and the remarkable people who helped shape it. Inspired by the Catholic Saints Day Books, Ziggy curates his own list of Black Bottom’s venerable "52 Saints." Among them are a vulnerable Dinah Washington, a defiant Joe Louis, and a raucous Bricktop. Randall balances the stories of these larger-than-life "Saints" with local heroes who became household names, enthralling men and women whose unstoppable ambition, love of style, and faith in community made this black Midwestern neighborhood the rival of New York City’s Harlem. Accompanying these “tributes” are thoughtfully paired cocktails—special drinks that capture the essence of each of Ziggy’s saints—libations as strong and satisfying as Alice Randall’s wholly original view of a place and time unlike any other.

Honey, You Were Born Invited

Pages : 189
Book Description
You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you. Augustine of Hippo, the Confessions. There is no human heart which does not have a hunger-hole in it. When this hollow makes itself known, you may feel it as a longing for home. It is, in fact, a God planted longing for himself, the home for which you were created. It shows itself in the disappointment you feel when the very thing you thought would satisfy does not. It manifests as a low-grade restlessness, as you seek fulfillment in work, or accomplishments, or sports, or human relationships. For some the intensity of the need triggers addictions and obsessions: to alcohol, drugs, overworking, overeating, over exercising. Blaise Pascal wrote: There is a God- shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the creator, known through Jesus. It is the witness of the Bible that we cannot know ourselves truly apart from a relationship with this creator. For Louise Weld, growing up in a family filled with unconditional love quickened in her the longing which the heart craves, a reunion with the creator whose essence is love, and in whose image men and women are shaped to love as he loves. And once she understood that it was not created things but the creator who could heal her homesickness, and that in fact the Creator had made an extraordinary provision for our homecoming in the revelation and work of Jesus Christ, there was not much else to say or do with her life but commend his grace and mercy to any who would listen. The sermons in this book have been preached and now gathered in this book for that purpose.
