{"product_id":"rendered-invisible-frank-e-dobson-9781935514350","title":"Rendered Invisible: Stories of Blacks and Whites, Love and Death","description":"\"Thirteen dead black men, and nobody knows it happened,\" so says Johnny Smith, who sets out on a quest to make things right in the powerful novella that begins this collection - a masterpiece of collaged voices. Voice is urgent and significant--Dobson focuses throughout on the invisible and the unvoiced-he brings them to center stage, where they speak their pain and frustration. \"Maybe we can revise history,\" one of his characters says; Dobson's book does just that. \u003cbr\u003e Mary Grimm, novelist, professor, Case Western University \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In entrancing prose that claims a place with writers as powerful as Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and John Edgar Wideman, Frank Dobson offers his own bold, subtle explorations of race and life in America. I sat down to skim a bit of his new book of stories, and ended up reading its central novella straight through. This narrative of the .22-Caliber killings in Buffalo - little known to most Americans-and the lives of blacks and whites caught up in those tense days makes for suspenseful, compelling reading.\u003cbr\u003e Jeff Gundy, poet, professor, Bluffton University \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank E.
