Insurrections: Stories
by Rion Amilcar Scott
"A suicidal father looks to an older neighbor -- and the Cookie Monster --for salvation and sanctuary as his life begins to unravel. A man seeking to save his estranged, drug-addicted brother from the city's underbelly confronts his own mortality. A chess match between a girl and her father turns into a master class about life, self-realization, and pride: 'Now hold on little girl. . . . Chess is like real life. The white pieces go first so they got an advantage over the black pieces.' These are just a few glimpses into the world of the residents of the fictional town of Cross River, Maryland, a largely black settlement founded in 1807 after the only successful slave revolt in the United States. In Insurrections, Rion Amilcar Scott's lyrical prose authentically portrays individuals growing up and growing old in an African American community."
