...writer to render the nuances and idiom of Harlem life. Shane Stevens, 28, deserves praise for his achievement, especially because he is a white man. His Harlem mood, at times funny but mostly depressing and barbed with the hopeless hostilities of the ghetto people, will shock and sober white readers.
