The lives of three men--Wade, an auctioneer and the son of a religious bigot; Lucky, the Jewish owner of a hockshop, who also shops auctions; and Lester, a strapping black man with a joy of life--become intertwined and inexorably altered. Lucky is the linchpin as he helps Lester, Wade, and two young boys (one white, one black) solve their problems of business and race. 650 0 $a Race relations $y 20th century $x Fiction. 651 0 $a Louisville (Ky.) $x Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l MYPC943 $d 20180704032542.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10FB197E253811DF9B7CADF9A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
