JOSH'S AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL, BLACK CRACKER.

South School, 1962: The last segregated school in New York. The student body is all-Negro . . . except for first grader Josh Friedman. Center stage in the unflinching and frequently hilarious funhouse tour of Friedman's Long Island boyhood. At once heartbreaking and hysterically funny, BLACK CRACKER delivers a fearless account of adventures in the now-forgotten poor Black shantytowns of Long Island, exploring the singular ugliness of racism, the intrigue of janitorial whodunits, the tragic limits of friendship.
