Title: Ushering in a new day in Black literature!
Review: I left out one review star in order to give him something to shoot for, room to grow...but the truth is that Rashid Darden is ushering in a new day in Black literature!The debut novel, "Lazarus," is an authentic, engaging work. It displays Mr. Darden's finely honed writing skills and showcases his accessible literary voice. The tale is inhabited by smart, witty, aware and responsible characters, which Darden couldn't have written about if he didn't possess those qualities himself.Thank you, Rashid, for a wonderful read--for the opportunity to flex my brain and ponder life while being thoroughly entertained. This kind of writing has been conspicuously absent from bookstore shelves. I look forward to more from you. It is a new day!
