"There's an eerie timeliness to the publication of this fictional study of Saint Louis black communities of the 1970s. This is a vivid, revelatory portrait of 1970s America in the disheartened aftermath of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s death." -Rafael Yglesias, author of The Wisdom of Perversity " Only the Strong effortlessly transmits Jabari Asim’s profound affection for this book's charismatic and varied characters. “ Only the Strong is a lushly atmospheric and passionately written piece of work, bursting with colorful characters that shine on every page.” -Bernice L. A riveting novel." -Victor LaValle, author of The Devil in Silver Jones has done for Washington D.C., Raymond Chandler for Los Angeles-marked it as place on the literary map where you'll want to stay for a long while.
