The The Portable Promised Land by Tour

The The Portable Promised Land by Tour

This inspired collection of stories is cause for celebration. With stunning language and dazzling characters, Toure introduces Soul City -- a wholly imagined utopia where magic happens and black is beautiful. In a broad range of characterization and styles, The Portable Promised Land is filled with lighthearted humor and heavyhearted issues. Toure challenges form and what's considered politically correct in stories like The Sad, Sweet Story of Sugar Lips Shinehot and Afrolexicolgy: Today's Bi-Annual List of the Top 50 Words in African America. The Portable Promised Land marks the entrance of a new and wildly compelling voice to fiction.

Tourü¾Ž–”¼ is the author of Never Drank the Kool-Aid, a collection of essays, Soul City, a novel, and The Portable Promised Land, a collection of short stories. He is a correspondant for MSNBC as well as the host of two shows on Fuse, the Hiphop Shop and On the Record, and a contributing editor to Rolling Stone.
