<div>A New York Times Notable Book: The award-winning debut novel of race and family that &ldquo;casts a new light on urban life in Brooklyn&rdquo; (Time Out New York). &ldquo;Like the characters of Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry . . . [our] unnamed narrator is a black man concerned with identity in a decidedly white America&rdquo;. He&rsquo;s a father of three in a biracial marriage trying to claim a piece of the American Dream (TheWashington Post). On the eve of his thirty-fifth birthday, he finds himself broke, estranged from his wife and kids, and living in a friend&rsquo;s spare bedroom in Brooklyn. He has four days to come up with the money to keep his family afloat, and four days to make sense of his past and his future in a country where he feels preprogrammed to fail. But he has a powerful urge to escape that sentence. &ldquo;Man Gone Down charts a four-day, Homeric trek through what makes America and New York a social and racial nightmare as well as a dream that incredibly can still come true.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert Sullivan, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of Rats &ldquo;Powerful and moving . . . recount[ing] the events of four desperate days in New York, [Man Gone Down] extends far beyond these boundaries of time and space.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;[A] jazzy, sinewy debut . . . Thomas&rsquo;s urgent, quicksilver prose makes even the darkest moments of this novel shine.&rdquo; &mdash;O, The Oprah Magazine</div>
