Kenton Rambsy 67 Through analyzing Jones’s detailed location tagging, we can see that the NW, compared to the other quadrants, is the most common location for plot and character development. 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’ D.C. geography. image_header 2019-01-29T13:07:31+00:00 Kenton Rambsy 1a8e7c8308fe3da2a51e94dd08e0858bab2a9153

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, D.C. image_header 2019-01-29T13:53:27+00:00 Kenton Rambsy 1a8e7c8308fe3da2a51e94dd08e0858bab2a9153

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.

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 2019-01-27T00:11:00+00:00 Kenton Rambsy 1a8e7c8308fe3da2a51e94dd08e0858bab2a9153

Jones published his second short story collection, All Aunt Hagar’s Children, in 2006. Like Lost in the City, only two of the 14 stories feature a first-person narrative. image_header 2019-01-29T12:57:57+00:00 Kenton Rambsy 1a8e7c8308fe3da2a51e94dd08e0858bab2a9153

Accordingly, identity is framed by interactions and attachment to other community members which builds into a shared living experience. Jones stories can be read as attempts to preserve a geographical identity of the Black D.C. in which he grew up. image_header 2019-01-27T00:12:40+00:00 Kenton Rambsy 1a8e7c8308fe3da2a51e94dd08e0858bab2a9153

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
