To bear witness? What does it cost?These stories take us into the heart of contemporary New York City and its residentsâ™ lives. We meet children, grandmothers and even ghosts as they strive to connect, to stand up for, and to really see each other. Their relationships shape not only their own futures but those of their families and their city.In its portraits of families and friendships, Witness enacts its own testimony. Here is a world where fortunes can be made and stolen in a generation, where strangers sometimes show kindness while those we trustâ"doctors, employers, siblingsâ"too often turn away, where joy comes in snatches.With prose as upendingly beautiful as it is artfully crafted, Jamel Brinkley offers nothing less than the full scope of life and death and change in the great, unending drama of the city.â˜Exhilarating and impactful â¦ Each story is a giftâ™ New York Timesâ˜A dazzling collection by a masterful storytellerâ™ Yiyun Li, author of The Book of Gooseâ˜Read everything this man writes, and regard the world anewâ™ Justin Torres, author of We the Animalsâ˜Jamel Brinkley is brilliant, the real thing, a revelationâ™ Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to Youâ˜These are stories of rare beauty and insight, that glitter with humour and hurt, written with lambent clarity and tendernessâ™ David Hayden, author of Darker With the Lights Onâ˜There is all the involvedness and complexity of a novel in each story, which makes Witness so abundant and wise.
