商品簡介
Ndiya Grayson returns to her childhood home of Chicago as a young professional, but even her high-end job in a law office can’t protect her from memories of an impoverished past in the South Side. One evening, vulnerable and emotionally disarrayed, she goes out and meets her equal and opposite.
Shame Luther is a no-nonsense construction worker by day and a jazz pianist by night, an expert navigator of the gaps that fall between piano notes, memories, and conversations. Almost by accident, Ndiya and Shame begin building an intimate and private world. But as tectonic plates in Chicago shift—and as landlords and exes, dealers and children, media attention and brutal police encroach—this world only fractures further. Their singular, remarkable quest for peace takes them through time and memory, across the ocean, and ultimately back into each other’s arms, through shouts and chronological record skips.
A vibrant portrait in overlapping color and texture, Another Kind of Madness tells the story of looking for trust and love in an increasingly uninhabitable America. A jazz song of a novel laced with poetic, near-synesthetic language, this is an extraordinary debut.
