Items related to Get Down: Stories
Asali Solomon's characters are vivid misfits―a heathen at Jesus camp, a scheming prep-school student, a middle-aged mom pining for her salsa-dancing salad days, a scheming twentysomething virgin, a college stud in love with his weight-lifting partner, a lonely girl in love with a yellow dress. The kids in Get Down are trapped between their own good breeding and their burning desire to join the house party of sex, romance, and bad behavior that seems to be happening on some other block, down some other, more dangerous street. Get Down is, in the words of Edward P. Jones, "touching and sensitively observed . . . from the first word to the last."

From the Publisher:
"Asali Solomon's stories are luminous and touching and are an important contribution to the serious literature about the urban lives of black Americans. Solomon's work--much of it about the world of private school teens in 1980s Philadelphia--is touching and sensitively observed and should be applauded from the first words to the last."
--Edward P. Jones, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
