Others: Overwhelmingly positiveLike the blues -- sweet, sad and full of truth -- this masterly work of fiction rocks us with powerful emotions.

Fonny, a talented young artist, finds himself unjustly arrested and locked in New York's infamous tombs. But his girlfriend, Tish, is determined to free him, and to have his baby, in this starkly realisitic tale... a powerful endictment of American concepts of justice and punishment in our time.
