Book Synopsis


Trade Review
In Angela Jackson’s extraordinary first novel, Where I Must Go, set in 1967 and 1968, her narrative moved among three places: Eden University, the South Side of Chicago, and Mississippi.In this novel, a blind man becomes sighted, a silent woman speaks the deep truths, many persons seek out their roles in an era of crisis, and the reader becomes the intimate witness of a realm both real and ima“Jackson’s language is beyond compare—at times a beautiful down-home lyricism, at times metaphorical in a profound way. And as in Where I Must Go, each of Maggie’s choices is a moment of both risk and deepening insight and purpose, as she creates her ever fuller sense of life and of her role in it."" - Reginald Gibbons, Frances Hooper Professor of Arts and Humanities at Northwestern University and author of Slow Trains Overhead: Chicago Poems and Stories
