Irene & the Big Fine Nickel Little
Brown $ 6.99 316798983 April-1996 "Harlem
in the 50's, as Smalls remembers it, is a true community - everything
is shared. Being black is shared too, but only as one more natural color
in the rich canvas of daily life. This is a nostalgic look at a less
fractious world, to be sure. But it's also a reminder that sometimes
the urban experience can foster community rather than alienation."
