Title: An awesome story, awesomely told
Review: A truly magic job of getting inside the heads of his subjects, young and old. It's easy for "people like us" to think that we can level the playing field by spending a little more money and making a little more effort; the story of Cedric Jennings shows us how far America has to go. The author stays out of the story, describing intimate, sometimes harrowing scenes between mother and son, student and roommate, in an effortless way that never betrays the feelings of the subjects, and never betrays the enormous, painstaking care that went in to this sort of up-close reporting. A must read.
