About This Book

The dilemmas facing the black lawyer, deeply woven into this nation's social fabric, animate this novel. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous sixties, Swiss Movement, which takes its name from the jazz composition widely considered "the hipster's international anthem", is most especially a love story for the ages.

"Ellisonesque...gripping and evocative." - John A. Williams, acclaimed author of The Man Who Cried I Am.

"A remarkable literary discovery that employs a rhythm, vernacular and cultural context that is distinctly jazz in nature." - Jerome L. Langston, QBR - The Black Book Review.

"Wickedly ironic satire..." - Professor Phillip M. Richards, Colgate University.
