Book Description:
|
The Crime of Being explores the effects of a racial incident--how it divides a seemingly homogenous community over the course of a summer and exposes its dark secrets. Tarred by the media as "the most racist town in America," the people of Lake Village face tangled questions of whether racism or insanity were at the root of a white teenager's violent assault of his black classmate, and whether the community as a whole can be implicated.
