Live at Five (Harvest Book)

by David Haynes

Live at Five (Harvest Book) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When news anchor Brandon Wilson is criticized as not being "black" enough, he makes a Faustian bargain--he does a series from a new home in the inner city, so he can tell the stories of "real folks." But when his TV station demands something more sensational, Brandon finds his loyalties caught up in a media circus. A wickedly funny novel "with a great sense of humor about class, color, and our obsession with TV."--"Book Page"

Synopsis:

Sparks fly when a black television anchorman looking for “real life” (and higher ratings) hooks up with a spunky young woman from the inner city in this “touching and wickedly funny novel” (Publishers Weekly) by one of Granta’s Best Young american Novelists.
