On the last night of 1937, 25-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society - where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.

The night Blue Summers met Damon, everything seemed to be going wrong. Falling into his arms was easy - too easy for a girl who had sworn off men for good. Blue discovers that Damon is her biggest political rival, but getting rid of him won't be so easy now that she's carrying his child. As the run for office gets tougher, Blue finds it hard to deny that her feelings for Damon are getting as hot as the race itself.

Truly great performance. Some of the best voices
Revisado: 04-10-17
This is a legendary novel that has great pacing and is deserving of the accolades it has received over the decades. The real reason to listen, however, is the fantastic group of voices!

Fifty years ago Malcolm X told a White woman who asked what she could do for the cause, "Nothing." Dyson believes he was wrong. In Tears We Cannot Stop, he responds to that question. If we are to make real racial progress, we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how Black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.

Excellent read and Strong Timely message
Revisado: 01-20-17
This is a book designed to grab your attention, and it kept mine throughout. I have a fairly high level of education, and I think the intended audience of the book is well educated whites. Frankly, this is appropriate, as educated whites are in the best position to act to support an inclusive society. I also think educated whites should all know better. The author narrates the book, which is full of elegant and flowing language. Sometimes, I think he read too quickly, not allowing the reader to absorb some of the key concepts. This is really my only criticism. Put in some pauses, Mr Dyson!
The book spans a great deal of contemporary issues related to the racial divide, and does a nice job of brining in the historical context when needed. His book list near the end of the book is truly essential reading. Use this book as your introduction to the racial divide and the suffering of black Americans. Then, DO keep reading.
As Dyson points out at the end of the book, the current election of Donald Trump should be considered a call to action. This book is the resource to use.
