The View From Here
Brian Keith Jackson

Pocket Books, 1997. Hardcover. 229pp. FINE in a FINE dustjacket. Author's first book. 

Lyrical mastery of language, reminiscent of John Edgar Wideman, gives readers a first look at a sensitive male novelist who writes from a place deeper than the heart. Great story telling ability. . . narrated by the voice of Anna's unborn child. Set in an environment of casual prejudice and commonplace poverty, the novel opens with a letter from Anna to Ida Mae Ramsay, her best friend since childhood.
