Descriere magazin:
White brings with it dreams of respect, of wealth, of simply being treated as a human being. It\'s the one thing Walter will never be. But what if he could play white, the way so many others seem to do? Would it bring him privilege or simply deny the pain? The title story in this collection asks those questions, and then moves on to challenge notions of race, privilege, personal choice, and even life and death with equal vigor. From the spectrum spanning despair and hope in What She Saw When They Flew Away to the stark weave of personal struggles in Chocolate Park, Let\'s Play White speaks with the voices of the overlooked and unheard. I Make People Do Bad Things shines a metaphysical light on Harlem\'s most notorious historical madame, and then, with a deft twist into melancholic humor, Cue: Change brings a zombie-esque apocalypse, possibly for the betterment of all mankind. Gritty and sublime, the stories of Let\'s Play White feature real people facing the worlds they\'re given, bringing out the best and the worst of what it means to be human. If you\'re ready to slip into someone else\'s skin for a while, then it\'s time to come play white. Blurbs: These raw, brutal stories, often with intriguingly open endings, display an odd and unsettling relationships to the poetry of violence. These dark tales announce the arrival of a formidable new master of the macabre. -Samuel R. Delany, author of Dhalgren and Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders What a stunning collection.
