Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb. Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 142mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 289gAuthor: Fran RossContributor: Harryette Mullen (Afterword by), Danzy Senna (Introduction by)Genre: FictionRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
