Love for Sale: And Other Essays by Clifford Thompson

In his first nonfiction collection, Thompson muses on different art forms and their relation to his own experiences as an African-American in the post-Civil Rights era. “Clifford Thompson’s perspective is that of a humane African-American male who is wary of any condescending sentimentality or group-rant, who loves jazz, movies, books, and the oddities of daily life. With this selection, he vaults to the front ranks of essayists of his generation.” - Phillip Lopate. $9.99 from Amazon /
