Reseña del libro "them (en Inglés)"

From the "mesmerizing storyteller" (The New Yorker) and author of the bestselling memoir Makes Me Wanna Holler presents a profound novel--in the tradition of Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities and Zadie Smith's White Teeth--that captures the dynamics of class and race in today's urban integrated communities. Barlowe Reed is a single, forty-something Black American who rents a ramshackle house on Randolph Street in Atlanta, just a stone's throw from the historic birth home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Barlowe, who works as a printer, otherwise passes the time reading and hanging out with other men at the corner store. He shares his home and loner existence with a streetwise, twentysomething nephew who is struggling to get his troubled life back on track. When Sean and Sandy Gilmore, a young white couple, move in next door, Barlowe and Sandy develop a reluctant, complex friendship as they hold probing--often frustrating--conversations over the backyard fence. Members of both households, and their neighbors as well, try to go about their business, tending to their homes and jobs. However, fear and suspicion build--and clashes ensue--with each passing day, as more and more new whites move in and make changes and once familiar people and places disappear. Using a blend of superbly developed characters in a story that captures the essence of this country's struggles with the unsettling realities of gentrification, Nathan McCall has produced a truly great American novel.
