Brooklyn, 1983, Franklin works in construction; he's young, black, the father of two, separated from his wife, desperately trying to keep himself off the welfare rolls. He's not predisposed to fall in love. 'All I can say is this, I'm tired of women. They're all the same, that's for damn sure. Want all your time and energy. Want the world to revolve around them.' Then Franklin meets Zora, a struggling singer from Ohio. But Zora's not so sure she's ready for love wither. 'Off and on in my life I've mistaked a good lay for love. Who hasn't ? Even though they're all history now. I've never considered any of these guys to be "losers". Either they just had a long, long way to go and I couldn't wait, or the direction they wanted to travel wasn't on my map'. The coming together of Franklin and Zora is unlikely, difficult and electric. Narrated from alternating points of view, Disappearing Acts is an unusual, contemporary love story. Without falling into sentimentality or guile, it is movingly told with an uncommon toughness and comic lyricism.
