Title: great on race
Product review: I found "Don't The Moon Look Lonesome" to be a marvelous illuminating novel on America, and on race. I liked the wide sweep in the novel, and I find the fact that Crouch takes no one point of view, there are no stereotypes in this novel, amazingly refreshing. Crouch sees America to be an essentially mixed culture, and that our survival depends on ourselves accepting -- and celebrating -- that we are part of this mixed culture. Crouch's musical training -- his expertise on jazz -- serves him well, as there is a terrific undercurrent of the Blues and swing in this novel. Most important, the characters are original and great. Carla, the complicated white protagonist, carries the story forward. I think this is definetely a must book for those who want to know and understand what's happened to America since the l960s.
