The Cicada's Song: A Novel

The Cicada's Song is a hauntingly beautiful, deeply southern African American journey into the soul. The narrative is suffused with the often unnamed deeply resonant spirituality that permeated African American life during the Jim Crow era. The idiom, rhythm and poetic breadth of vision conspire to lay bear the African American soul through the Cunninham's tragic loss. The sweeping narrative conveys a depth of humanity in the African American experience often lost in preoccupations with protest and racial conflict.
