| American Graffiti is the call of the wild, a collection of urban fiction stories presented in a series of thought provoking storylines that paint the literary landscape. Handpicked by Q.B. Wells that also includes three original stories by the visionary himself.
American Graffiti features twenty-one urban fiction short stories that are topical and stretch the idea of what it is like to live in the contemporary metropolis. For universities, educators, librarians, parents, and students that want to engage discussion or for readers who want to enjoy African American literature, these are stories written especially for the urban dweller, and others are penned expressly for people who value the human experience. From a boyfriend that wished he put a ring on his ex-girlfriends hand to a black professor whose home is burglarized and he is forced to defend his belongings to the police or a teenage boy who decides with his two best friends that they will become girls on the first day of the new year ? the authors in this anthology forge new bounds, digging beneath the surface of urban culture as they explore unique situations sure to engage your imagination. No longer is hip-hop a subculture, it is culture painted on the wall, American Graffiti. Volume 1: Short FictionVolume 2: Creative Nonfiction Submission Guidelines ?
