Rent Man Gone Down

Synopsis

The down-on-his-luck hero of MAN GONE DOWN has overcome his alcoholism to build a family in Brooklyn, but must face the crippling oppression of a faltering economy when he suddenly has only four days to pay for a new apartment and his son's school. As his protagonist scrambles to find financial salvation, the author explores his past, and how his unique racial heritage (black, Native-American, and Irish) has affected his dreams of upward mobility. Class and race intertwine in complicated ways in this sprawling American tale.
