Sundog Books is excited to introduce New Orleans-based writer Maurice Ruffin and celebrate the success of his debut novel, We Cast A Shadow, on Sunday, March 23, from 10AM to Noon as their Author on the Porch.
Released in late January We Cast A Shadow has since been celebrated as a “must read” in Goodreads, Huffington Post, The Los Angeles Times, Garden & Gun, NY Times Editor Pick (February), Barnes & Noble, Esquire, NY Style Magazine (cover), BuzzFeed, Parade magazine, etc. Critical accolades continue to pour in from literary and publishing communities nationwide.
“We Cast A Shadow is like a dispatch from the frontlines of the African-American psyche. Written with ruthless intelligence, it’s the story of a father’s love and how he tries to protect his son in a country that devours black lives through violence, incarceration, and poverty. . . [Ruffin] can drive his story to the outer limits and beyond, and never lose the threads of bitter reality that make it so haunting. We Cast a Shadow soars on Ruffin’s unerring vision.”—Renée Graham, The Boston Globe.
