Reviews
"It is the force of Mr. Gaines's character and intelligence, operating through [his] deceptively quiet style, that makes his fiction compelling. . . . The dialogue is spare, but unerring, and humor will keep slipping in subtly despite the tragedies behind these lives." --Larry McMurty, The New York Times Book Review "He write's eloquently of the frustrated love between fathers and sons. . . . His best writing is marked by what Ralph Ellison, describing the blues, call 'near-tragic, near-comic lyricism.'" --Margo Jefferson, Newsweek "The dialogue is mesmerizing. . . . The characterizations come right off the page. . . . No one writes about mainstream, ordinary black life as well as he does." --Ishmael Reed "It would make a gripping play with its tight plot and strong scenes of confrontation, its Ibsenite central character." -- The Washington Post, "It is the force of Mr. Gaines's character and intelligence, operating through [his] deceptively quiet style, that makes his fictioni compelling. . . .

Synopsis
A compelling novel of a man brought to reckon with his buried past... In St. Adrienne, a small black community in Louisiana, Reverend Phillip Martin-a respected minister and civil rights leader-comes face to face with the sins of his youth in the person of Robert X, a young, unkempt stranger who arrives in town for a mysterious "meeting" with the Reverend. In the confrontation between the two, the young man's secret burden explodes into the open, and Phillip Martin begins a long-neglected journey into his youth to discover how destructive his former life was, for himself and for those around him. "...on every page there's an authentic moment, or a dead-right knot of conversation, or a truer-than-true turn of phrase..."- Kirkus Reviews, A compelling novel of a man brought to reckon with his buried past...
