Product Information
In dazzling, jazzlike prose that pulses with the rhythm of the street, Nelson Eubanks traces the influences on and evolution of Maceo, from impressionable adolescent to twentysomething man--each interconnected story is a snapshot of memory bursting with emotion. In "Malta Scheffer," nine-year-old Maceo slips out of a white world of private schools to fade back into his brown world, where stickball and dreams of glory just may provide the ticket out of poverty. "The First Thing Smoking" explores the prejudice and hatred that exist within a family, when skin color varies between darker and lighter shades of black. "Avenida Atl'ntica" depicts an older Maceo, now in Brazil, as he tries to escape his growing awareness of lust and desire as well as the racial strife and violence of his childhood.

Reviews
"Part sustained jazz riff, part Hemingway, these exercises in uninflected momentum swirl with atmosphere. . . . Eubanks writes like a train at full throttle." -Time Out New York "Nelson Eubanks's debut marks the arrival of a truly original voice: incantatory, serpentine, and remarkably elastic. [He] manages to serve up humor, menace, and pathos, not to mention flawless dialogue, in a style distinctly his own." -JENNIFER EGAN Author of Look at Me "[An] intelligent and irresistible collection. The First Thing Smoking is poetry, it is joyous jazz, it is the liquid pain of life slapped on the page. " -The Times Picayune "A companion volume to Junot Diaz's Drown . . . [The First Thing Smoking] is a powerful collection." -Kirkus Reviews "Nelson Eubanks's stories are a quest for the truth. Writing of class in a high school or carnival in Brazil, his search for racial identity rings true. The First Thing Smoking is a stunning collection by a gifted writer with an urgent voice that confronts the reader with outrage, yet is often forgiving." -MAUREEN HOWARD Author of A Lover's Almanac "With the kind of eloquence, range, and excruciating beauty most often associated with jazz, Nelson Eubanks has given us a gift: stories of tender and brutal honesty. Written in a style that is as lush as a rain forest, The First Thing Smoking offers a stark look at family, race, love, betrayal, and America. This is fiction that gets beneath the skin. Nelson Eubanks is the real deal." -BINNIE KIRSHENBAUM Author of Hester Among the Ruins "Nelson Eubanks is a penetrating writer, a fine storyteller, and an astute observer of the world." -COLIN CHANNER Author of Waiting in Vain and Passing Through "Nelson Eubanks explores racial, familial, and sexual politics amid an astute geographic and sensual longing. His prose is explosive; he generates heat. This is an exciting debut." -JOANNA HERSHON Author of Swimming and The Outside of August "It is always refreshing to discover a promising new fictive voice. If this collection of 17 interconnected stories is a precursor of things to come, we have much to look forward to in Eubanks's forthcoming first novel. . . . Eubanks is a writer to watch." -Library Journal "Expressive . . . Eubanks's grappling with race is refreshingly nuanced." -Publishers Weekly, "Part sustained jazz riff, part Hemingway, these exercises in uninflected momentum swirl with atmosphere. . . . Eubanks writes like a train at full throttle." -Time Out New York "Nelson Eubanks's debut marks the arrival of a truly original voice: incantatory, serpentine, and remarkably elastic.
