High Crime Area Audiobook Summary

In the title story, a white aspiring professor is convinced she is being followed. No need to panic-she has a handgun stowed away in her purse, just in case. But when she turns to confront her black male shadow, the situation isn#8217;t what she expects. In #8220;The Rescuer,#8221; a promising graduate student detours to inner-city Trenton, New Jersey, to save her brother from a downward spiral. But she soon finds out there may be more to his world than to hers. And in #8220;The Last Man of Letters,#8221; the world-renowned author X embarks on a final grand tour of Europe. He has money, fame, but not a whole lot of manners. A little thing like etiquette couldn#8217;t bring a man like X down, could it? In these biting and beautiful pieces, Oates confronts, one by one, the demons within us, demonstrating that sometimes, it#8217;s not the human side that wins out.
