Three-Fifths

Published by: Pushkin Press

Two friends: one passing as white but mixed race; the other (recently released from prison) white but wishing he were black. A sensitive and powerful exploration of race and identity, set in 1990s Pittsburgh at the time of the O J Simpson trial. Uncomfortably realistic.
