Free (Kindle) Before I Forget [African-American Literary/Men's Fiction Novel]

Before I Forget by Pulitzer Prize-winning (for Commentary) journalist & novelist Leonard Pitts (Wikipedia) is his debut contemporary literary/men's fiction family drama novel spanning three generations of African-American fathers and sons, free courtesy of publisher Agate's Bolden imprint.

This has previously been offered free in 2013 and has a favourable Publishers Weekly review, as well as a lot of quoted editorial praise.

Currently free, probably just until the weekend @ Amazon (not available to Canadians). May or may not show up later at B&N and/or Kobo, as Agate freebies often do (but they seem to have been skipping lately).

Description
This powerful novel of three generations of black men bound by blood — and by histories of mutual love, fear, and frustration — gives author Leonard Pitts the opportunity to explore the painful truths of black men's lives, especially as they play out in the fraught relations of fathers and sons.

As 50-year-old Mo tries to reach out to his increasingly tuned-out son Trey (who himself has become an unwed teenaged father), he realizes that the burden of grief and anger he carries over his own estranged father has everything to do with the struggles he encounters with his son.

Part road novel, part character study, and part social critique, and written in compulsively readable prose, Before I Forget is the work of a major new voice in American fiction. Pitts knows inside and out the difficulties facing black men as they grapple with the complexities of their roles as fathers.

Now a repeat freebie @ Amazon (also available in the UK this time around).

Newly free @ B&N (also UK) & iTunes (not available to Canadians), and may show up later as a DRM-free PDF download directly at the publisher's webcatalogue page, as Agate freebies sometimes do (but they seem to have been skipping lately).
