Like the blues -- sweet, sad and full of truth --this masterly work of fiction rocks us withpowerful emotions. In it are anger and pain, but aboveall, love -- affirmative love of a woman for herman, the sustaining love of a black family. Fonny, atalented young artist, finds himself unjustlyarrested and locked in New York's infamous tombs. Buthis girlfriend, Tish, is determined to free him,and to have his baby, in this starkly realisitictale... a powerful endictment of American concepts ofjustice and punishment in our time.
