$24.95Here is a rare breed: a complex, insightful novel about life in South Central LA that owes more to Faulkner than to Goines or Iceberg Slim. Tervalon, a native of the city, uses a slew of authentically realized narrative voices to relate the stories of those who want out, and the many more who are inevitably left behind. Take a chance on this sobering, intimate, under-appreciated work, and you’ll benefit significantly from having done so.

When Sid swims ashore and meets a girl name Alice, they embark on a quest to find him the perfect job. With his skills, and ten arms, could Sid be a good policeman, fireman, or cook? Ultimately, Sid realizes the “right fit” is important: he must find a job he can put his heart into. Everyone will identify with Sid's trials, errors . . . and, finally, success! Illustrated with colorful verve by a professional DreamWorks animator, Sid's expressiveness hearkens to the silent comedy of Charlie Chaplin and WALL-E. This squid is an inspirational hero for our times.
