|  | | Rendered Invisible: Stories of Blacks & Whites, Love & Death
Rendered Invisible is a historical novel which tells the true story of a racially-motivated killing spree of Black men by a white racist. It is essential reading for those wanting to understand race relations today.
In entrancing prose that claims a place with writers as powerful as Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and John Edgar Wideman, Frank Dobson offers his own bold, subtle explorations of race and life in America. I sat down to skim a bit of his new book of stories, and ended up reading its central novella straight through. This narrative of the .22-Caliber killings in Buffalo - little known to most Americans-and the lives of blacks and whites caught up in those tense days makes for suspenseful, compelling reading.

The Race is Not Given is a compelling novel which addresses questions of rational suicide, family relations, and race. Its themes of love and the quest for identity are enduring ones.
