Cotton (Paperback)

"Is this all becoming clear to you?" he asks. "I do hope so. There is an explanation to the dysfunction that has now become normal. An answer to why tragedy is so easily turned into humor and why self-mockery is more appealing than self-identity. If it is too difficult for you to grasp now, do not fret. The truth will be revealed to you before the end." "Do you know who you are?" This is the pressing question at the root of Cotton's tales. A storybook filled with enlightenment, sorrow, laughter and visions told through the voices of personable characters who bring an essence to the Black American experience. An emotional joyride through the past up to the present day, Cotton challenges the human spirit to search within to bring out the greatest potential.
