"Hill's soul-searing debut novel...illuminates everyday life in black America between the early 1970s and '80s while transcending color to tell a universal story." -- Alan Doyle, Contra Costa Times, "Hill has created a long-awaited incarnation of Richard Wright's Bigger Thomas... Satisfied with Nothin' is a deeply felt work." -- Joan Mellen, The Baltimore Sun, "Hill's soul-searing debut novel...illuminates everyday life in black America between the early 1970s and '80s while transcending color to tell a universal story." -- Alan Doyle,Contra Costa Times, "Hill has created a long-awaited incarnation of Richard Wright's Bigger Thomas...Satisfied with Nothin'is a deeply felt work." -- Joan Mellen,The Baltimore Sun
Synopsis
This is the story of Jamie Ray Griffin, a young black man who, by virtue of his talent on the football field, finds himself suddenly thrust into a white world full of privilege, temptation, and never-before-imagined possibility. Encouraged by the facade of acceptance from the white community, Jamie strives to succeed, but finds himself thwarted at every turn -- by whites and blacks alike. Satisfied with Nothin' chronicles Jamie's development from a naive, unsophisticated teen to a hard-driving, cynical adult determined to succeed despite the opposition of whites, the complacency of blacks, and his own tragic fate. In doing so, it provides a powerful and important portrait of the black experience in post-segregation America.

    Our package arrived well packed, and in perfect condition! It was exactly as described and we are very pleased. The shipping only took a few days after it got into the postal system. It is a great value for the money and we love having it on our table for the Easter season. Thank you!

    A nice copy of The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. It was securely packaged and shipped quickly. I am very pleased. I highly commend this dealer to anyone interested in the items offered by this person for sale. I don't think the purchaser will be disappointed in the service received. All told this is a fantastic seller. Ebay will certainly encourage any buyer to leave extensive feedback so others can share in the positive experience one has. Onward and upward as they say....

    Great product! Fair pricing! Perfect packaging! Exactly as described! Awesome seller! A+++. Only complaint.. USPS is the slowest/worst shipping method, lucky if you get it at all anymore.
