This copy has been SIGNED by John Edgar Wideman on the title page. Eddie Lawson's Easter homecoming to the black ghetto of a North American city is full of tentative hope; after a year in a drug clinic in the Southern States he has freed himself from slavery to the Man. For Robert Thurley - middle-aged, middle-class and white, a homosexual professor of literature from the other side of town - Easter and its rituals also bring new hope. It was with this fine novel that John Edgar Wideman originally captured the imagination of American critics. It is now published in Britain for the first time.
