<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this unusually honest book of essays and other writings, Emily Bernard examines the complexities of interracial friendships: Latino and white, black and Asian, black and Jewish. In essays from such celebrated writers as Pam Houston, Darryl Pickney, Luis Rodriguez, and Susan Straight, among many others, you'll meet a young Italian American college student who rooms with a sophisticated young black man who can trace his college-educated elders back several generations; a second-generation Korean American from the hood who is more comfortable with Latinos and blacks than with Korean kids who grew up in the suburbs; and a Jewish man who reflects on his friendship with a black opera singer. Though culturally and ethnically at odds, perhaps, they call each other friends; working together, playing together, opening their homes and hearts, even when they have every reason not to.</p><p>Sometimes controversial, sometimes funny, but always thought-provoking, <em>Some of My Best Friends</em> is a timely work on a subject that has yet to be fully explored.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Heartfelt essays [exploring] ...what makes some [friendships] last a lifetime and others collapse at the first sign of strain."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Meticulously annotated...a textured, ribald and frequently poignant interracial friendship between two remarkable talents."--New York Times Book Review on Remember Me to Harlem<br><br>"What a wonderful and much-needed contribution to the great American conversation."--Danzy Senna, author of Caucasia and Symptomatic<br><br>"You can't afford to miss this book."--Vibe on Remember Me to Harlem<br>
