Hence, the following review by Elantis Cranston, author of the pending novel Heavenly Blues illustrates that statement. Cranston, a native of Philadelphia, characterizes the book as: A cornucopia of controversy that dares the reader to challenge its concept. The book begins innocently with a challenge to the 21st Century Black Man, and veers into territory that far too often we refuse to explore. Then, just when you think youve heard it all, the author takes you on a journey that leaves you gasping and fine tuning your logistical pistons."
