We Cast a Shadow Book Information:

"You can be beautiful, even more beautiful than before." This is the seductive promise of Dr. Nzinga's clinic, where anyone can get their lips thinness, their skin bleached and their noses narrow a complete demelanization will liberate you from the confines of being born in a black body-if you can afford it. In this near-future southern city plagued by fenced-in ghetto and police violence, more and more residents are turning to this experimental medical procedure. Like any father, our narrator just wants the best for his son Nigel, a biracial boy whose black birthmark is getting bigger by the day. The darker Nigel becomes, the more frightened his father feels. But how far will he go to protect his son? And will he destroy his family in the process? This electrifying, hallucinatory novel is at once a keen satire of surviving racism in America and a profoundly moving family story. At its center is a father at war with himself who just wants his son to thrive in a broken world. A writer whose work evokes the crackling prose of Ralph Ellison and the dizzying menace of Franz Kafka, Maurice Carlos ruffin is a ferociously talented new writer who fearlessly shines a light on the violence we inherit and on the desperate things we do for the ones we love.
