Then Carolyn, the closest friend he has left, goes off the rails, Smith returns to New York only to lose himself in his old life, drawn back into the city''s underworld. Will his search for the truth about Elle cost him his freedom and his future?Smith goes on a dizzying journey through the New York City nightlife circuit, anonymous recovery rooms, Atlanta''s Black society set, police investigations and courtroom dramas, and a circle of friends coming of age in a new era. Great Black Hope is a propulsive, glittering story about what it means to exist between worlds, to be upwardly mobile yet spiralling downward and how to find a way back to hope.Více...
