The Color Midnight Made

by Andrew Winer

The Color Midnight Made Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This critically acclaimed debut is a modern Huckleberry Finn, a heartrending tale of wit and grace that charts the coming of age of a color-blind white boy struggling to find meaning in a world divided by poverty and race.

One of the most memorable characters in recent fiction, Conrad Clay is just beginning life. Yet all around him things are ending: His parents' marriage is crumbling, his father loses his job during the closing of the Alameda naval base, his family faces eviction from their house, and his beloved grandmother is dying.

As betrayal and poverty take their toll, Conrad's efforts to create a new family for himself lead us on a journey alternately hilarious and desolating. Filled with tenderness and a cast of unforgettable characters, The Color Midnight Made is at heart a profound portrait of America.

Synopsis:

This nationally bestselling, critically acclaimed debut is a modern "Huckleberry Finn, " a heartrending tale of wit and grace that charts the journey of a colorblind white boy struggling to find meaning in a world divided by poverty and race.
