- Summary
- "Where I've Been is an eclectic compilation of short and flash fiction stories set in contemporary urban America. A creative exploration of literary structure, language, subject matter and narrative style is applied to common inner-city aesthetic. The characters' voices are strong. The predicaments in which they find themselves and their resolutions to these predicaments are humorous and unusual, yet nostalgically spellbinding. The writing demonstrates a wonderful ear for the lilt of the spoken language. In stories like "Simple," "Sweet Pea and 'em," "The Faucet," "What's in a Name?" and "Getting to Know Him," the everyday drama of small moments spin into engaging tales. In "Chicken" and "Cleaving to the Man," entertainment parallels thought provocation. This collection is written with the brevity of Hip-Hop culture, but is surely tantalizing in its psychological and sociological treatment of contemporary issues."--BOOK JACKET.
