Paperback Original. keywords: Literature America Black. inventory # 28805. FROM THE PUBLISHER-IS HOMEWOOD DYING? IS IT DEAD ALREADY? When Albert Wilkes returns to Homewood after seven years on the run, he finds the black community whose songs he once played threatened with extinction. Can Homewood survive? Before Wilkes discovers an answer, the police gun him down; but death cannot stop his restless freight-train rhythms. In Wilkes' music is the history of Homewood, truths that must be preserved. It falls to Carl and Lucy and Brother Tate to receive the legacy of Wilkes' piano-playing hands. One night Brother Tate, a white/black man, mysterious, ghostly, magical as Wilkes' music, plays the dead man's songs. And so the burden of saving Homewood shifts to another generation. Lucy and Carl, lovers at thirteen, victims at birth, inheritors with Brother Tate of the music, stories, rituals and legends of Homewood's past, struggle to save what they can. In their talk, dreams and memories, John Wideman uses the cadences of black speech to make poetry of everyday gains and losses. to tell the passion of ordinary lives, the contradictions, perils, pain and love which are the blood and bone of everybody's America. The Nation calls Wideman ‘perhaps the most gifted black novelist of his generation. ' David Bradley, author of THE CHANEYSVILLE INCIDENT, calls Wideman's last novel ‘cause for celebration.'.
