White Noise
Suzan-Lori Parks
(Author)
Description
Leo, Misha, Ralph, and Dawn are old friends. The two couples have a lot in common--good educations, progressive politics, a taste for culture. But when a racially motivated incident with the cops leaves Leo shaken, he decides he must take extreme measures in order to survive. Suzan-Lori Parks' newest work reveals how easily fissures can form in the social contracts we build with one another when confronted with difficult questions about race and identity.

Parks's dislocating stage devices, stark but poetic language and fiercely idiosyncratic images transform her work into something haunting and marvelous.-- "Time magazine"
