George Webber, a first-time author, writes a book that makes frequent references to his home town of Libya Hill. The book is a success, except in Libya Hill, where the residents believe that it paints an extremely distorted portrait of their town. They send Webber menacing letters, including death threats.

Not the whole book but a great performance of it
Revisado: 04-17-20
This is the first Wolfe novel I’ve read (listened to) and I loved it. I’ll have to get the unabridged version of it to get the full picture, but the actors performed very well in this, well worth the listen.

At once a powerful evocation of his early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice to both the individual and the body politic, James Baldwin galvanized the nation in the early days of the civil rights movement with this eloquent manifesto. The Fire Next Time stands as one of the essential works of our literature.

Excellent, a must read

This is truly amazing. His tone is very smooth, his word choice elegant and educated. For what dark and troubling things he discusses he does so in a way that can inspire hope by the end of it. Everyone should read James Baldwin.

It is November 25, 1960, and the bodies of three beautiful, convent-educated sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. El Caribe, the official newspaper, reports their deaths as an accident. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of General Raphael Leonidas Trujillo's dictatorship.

A truly great novel
Revisado: 06-18-19
One of the best books I’ve read in a while. A truly heart wrenching and inspiring story of courage, bravery, loss and tragedy. The story of these sisters and many like them must be told, and we must not let people like Trujillo rise to power, for their ego, power hunger and tyranny comes at the cost of many lives and much suffering. I’d recommend this book to anyone.

As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay - with officer Nestor Camacho on board - Tom Wolfe is off and running. Here is a big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous best-selling novels, Back to Blood is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.

A fun and interesting story that gets better as you go on
Revisado: 06-11-18
Not his best book, but worth reading nonetheless in my opinion. Nice to hear from the perspective of people of color. I like that it shows multiple sides of stories we hear about regularly, and I feel like it tries to present different perspectives on common issues like immigration and policing. I don’t like how the narrator read it, it feels like he tried to hard to make it sound cool, and the story starts off feeling kind of dumb, but after the 4th or 5th chapter it got really good. I’d recommend it to just about anyone.
