Description
Summary:	This collection of 62 essays may be the father's day gift for which readers search every June. The writers, a veritable who's who of distinguished essayists, novelists, and poets, reach into their hearts and movingly celebrate their Black fathers. The portraits are at once brutally honest and forgiving, reflecting the various experience of the authors whose good and bad memories succeed in honoring the first men in their lives. Among the contributors are John Wideman, Malcolm X, Audre Lorde, Ntozake Shange, Charles Braxton, James Baldwin, and Dolores Kendricks--authors whose names are synonymous with magnificent writing. Lacks an index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
