Three Lost Souls - Lewis, Woody

. .

Résumé :
This mini-collection of stories depicts black intellectuals struggling to self-identify. An idealist masquerading as a rock musician. A writer in Los Angeles, caught in the grasp of what passes for friendship in that town. An academician who tries to sedate her personal demons with professional ambition. Here are members of the Tormented Tenth, caught in a purgatory that W.E.B. Du Bois did not foresee.
