New York: Vantage Press, (1993.) dj. Hardcover first edition - First edition, fine in a fine dustjacket - a play in which Marcus, a 1990's crack dealer, is shown scenes from African and African American history and then scenes of possible futures for black men in the US. The final message is that it is up to him - and to others like him - to change, and get away from drugs - if the possibilities of the future are to be realized. The first book by this California author, who says that he is a survivor of the mean streets he writes about. ISBN: 0-533-105005.
