The majority of neighborhoods and landmarks mentioned are located in the NW as can be seen from the chart above. Even in the stories that have settings in other quadrants, NW is central in Jones’s DC geography. image_header 2019-02-15T13:48:21+00:00 A Reviewer ecb458192daa317dd112b745ee8c78c5dcfb198b

Jones compiles fourteen short stories in his fiction collection Lost in the City (1992). The stories' events range from the 1950s to the 1980s, actualizing the life experiences within the African American communities of Washington, DC. image_header 2019-02-15T13:48:43+00:00 A Reviewer ecb458192daa317dd112b745ee8c78c5dcfb198b

In Lost in the City, most of the characters’ physical mobility orbits around their home addresses while their age, class, and gender dictate the range of those orbits. image_header 2019-02-15T13:48:58+00:00 A Reviewer ecb458192daa317dd112b745ee8c78c5dcfb198b

Accordingly, identity is framed by interactions and attachment to other community members, which builds into a shared living experience. Jones's stories can be read as attempts to preserve a geographical identity of the Black DC in which he grew up. image_header 2019-02-15T12:59:01+00:00 A Reviewer ecb458192daa317dd112b745ee8c78c5dcfb198b

Tracy 27 Women play consequential roles in Jones's stories; their experiences of D.C. give new insights to the lives of the Black community. Jones reinforces the figure of the Black woman, especially the mother, as community caretaker and educator traditionally portrayed by female writers like Alice Walker and Toni Cade Bambara. image_header 2019-02-15T11:45:25+00:00 Daniel G.

The young Black generation grows unattached to the old southern values and tradition of the older Black community. The gap is intensified by a gradual White encroachment that takes place as a result of gentrification and community displacement. image_header 2018-10-15T18:29:45+00:00 Janet Swatscheno 61665aa235060c0c8f3e0f97aedf405f59d3c633
