THE LONG BLUE MOAN
L.M. Ross
Like New York City itself - fast-paced, brutal, and pulsing with beauty - this lyrical novel reveals the lives of four talented black boys struggling to become black men. Tyrone, David, Face, and Browny become reluctant friends when, as part of an assignment at Performing Arts High they form a musical group and produce a hit song. But the group falls apart soon after its windfall, and what ensues is a 20-year saga of four lives filled with sex, drama, and passion, where jealousy reigns, violence erupts, and love survives.
