09.13: Mitchell Jackson
2013-08-13 21:37:13| Powells Books Events Calendar
Mitchell Jackson grew up black in a neglected neighborhood in America's whitest city, Portland, Oregon. In the '90s, those streets and beyond had fallen under the shadow of crack cocaine and its familiar mayhem. In his commanding autobiographical novel, The Residue Years (Bloomsbury), Jackson offers an honest portrayal of what it was like to come of age in that time and place, with a breakout voice that's nothing less than extraordinary.
