When David first hears the Senator from Illinois speak, he feels deep ambivalence. Intrigued by the Senator’s idealistic rhetoric, David also wonders how he’ll balance the fervent belief and inevitable compromises it will take to become the United States’ first Black president. Great Expectations is about David’s eighteen months working for the Senator's presidential campaign. Along the way David meets a myriad of people who raise a set of questions—questions of history, art, race, religion, and fatherhood—that force David to look at his own life anew and come to terms with his identity as a young Black man and father in America. Meditating on politics and politicians, religion and preachers, fathers and family, Great Expectations is both an emotionally resonant coming-of-age story and a rich novel of ideas, marking the arrival of a major new writer. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a African American Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Literature. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Goodson, Aaron. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9830581 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=8f86ef3c-9403-4794-afb9-35c45c5ff35b&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7B8F86EF3C-9403-4794-AFB9-35C45C5FF35B%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7B8F86EF3C-9403-4794-AFB9-35C45C5FF35B%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/8f86ef3c-9403-4794-afb9-35c45c5ff35b $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240404010418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6E0C672F24811EE8A4A406D47ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
