Must-read, exquisitely crafted stories of black life.

"Lost in the City" is simply the best collection of short stories about life in African America to be published in the last decade. It may well be the best collection of fiction centered in the nation's capital to be published in the past 50 years. Synopses reduce the poetry of these tales to cliches. You have to read these journeys to witness how and why Edward P. Jones requires more than book-priced "tickets" to view a few poignant inner lives; he wants us present and aware for the whole heartbreaking, strengthening ride. If you love black people or just want to understand us better, "Lost in the City" is a must-read.
