[Simon & Schuster] Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction A “splendid and grand collection” (Edward P. Jones, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Known World) of literary short stories portraying the lived experiences of Black Muslims grappling with faith, family, and freedom in America. In Temple Folk, Black Muslims contemplate the convictions of their race, religion, economics, politics, and sexuality in America. The ten “beautiful and vivid” (Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award–winning and New York Times bestselling author) stories in this collection contribute to the bounty of diverse narratives about Black life by intimately portraying the experiences of a community that resists the mainstream culture to which they are expected to accept and aspire to while functioning within the country in which they are born. In “Due North,” an obedient daughter struggles to understand why she’s haunted by the spirit of her recently deceased father. In “Who’s Down?

This is a great book. I have no problem with the book, but the publisher shipping them is completely careless in the way that they're packing them. . It's frustrating because 15 out of 23 books have some sort of cover or spine damage and people are paying hard earned money to get these books. They want them to be in good quality. I know that they send books to big bookstores that don't have these types of cover issues so I feel like it's just careless packing to small businesses.
