Michael Thomas, author of Man Gone Down (Grove/Atlantic)

On the eve of the unnamed black narrator’s thirty-fifth birthday he finds himself broke, estranged from his white Boston Brahmin wife and three children with just four days to come up with the money to keep his family afloat. Alternating between his past as a child in inner-city Boston and the present in New York City , we learn of his mother’s abuses, his father’s abandonment, raging alcoholism, and the best and worst intentions of a supposedly integrated America . Brooklyn author Thomas reads from his debut novel, a story of the American Dream gone awry.
