The Fortress of Solitude

A National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Author The award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn spins a tale of two friends from a Brooklyn neighborhood, a black boy and a white boy, and their adventures in late-twentieth-century America. It is the story of the 1970s, when the simplest human decisions were laden with potential political, social, and racial disaster. And it's the story of the 1990s, when nobody cared anymore.
