Another Country is America. The scene is New York - from Greenwich Village to Harlem - and all of the places, fashionable and sordid, that lie between. The city looms over the events of a crucial year in the lives of the eight major characters whose tale is told in this remarkable novel. Barriers of sex and color are torn away; the complexities of love and hate are mercilessly explored - between black and white, between man and woman, between man and man. "An almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience" (Washington Post).
