FROM THE PUBLISHER - Mason Randolph, a black preppie of impeccable Southern pedigree, is bound for Stanford Law School after graduating from college. Before embarking on the path to his golden future, however, he takes a detour through Harlem, where he intends to live 'authentically' with 'real black people.' Mason takes the name 'Malik' and moves into the orbit of the ever-fabulous Carmen, uptown diva and doyenne of Harlem. Carmen, always ready to have a handsome young man at her fabulous soirees and to add to her devoted entourage, happily takes him under her wing. Fueled by his parents' money and dodging the people who remember him as Mason Randolph, 'Malik' masquerades as a 'ghettonian,' exploring the wonders and pleasures of a Harlem in the midst of a second Renaissance. But his odyssey takes a different turn when he meets Kyra, whose world mirrors the one he has abandoned. As he contemplates the choices Kyra has made, and begins to reexamine his own presumptions about identity and authenticity, Mason realize that everyone has something to hide and that to get what we want, we have to be willing to let go of our secrets. inventory #32189 ISBN: 0385502958.
