Overview

Set mostly on Chicago’s South Side, these eighteen stories describe ordinary people whose lives are transformed by small acts of chance or will. From depictions of the ordered urban enclaves of the black middle class to the dank and dirty tenements of the lonely city’s poor, Colter’s sharp, spare prose etches perceptive portraits of people who endure and overcome the most severe threats to their spirits.
