Drawing inspiration from everything from traditional horror movies to the sophistication of contemporary Japanese short-story styles, the literary and the popular merge seamlessly in this uniquely black British mix. This collection meticulously and insightfully observes West London's black communities--from patterns of speech, fashions, and pleasures to the pressures of racism and exclusion they seek to escape.
