Description

Praised as a masterpiece-the best work but by an American author of the very first rank-The Man in My Own Basement shows the tale of Charles Blakey, a black man who can not locate a career, drinks an excessive amount of, and, worst of, stands to get rid of the lovely house that's belonged to his family for decades. But Charles's prospects take an unusual turn whenever a stranger provides nearly $50,000 to book Charles's basement-and quickly, whilst the boarder changes the basement into a jail cell, Charles finds herself pulled into conditions almost unimaginably weird and profoundly disturbing.
