REVIEWS
"Skillful…[a] slow-burning, thought-provoking drama…” ~ NY Times
“[Tracey Scott Wilson] does not write diatribes or position papers. Race is not a national conversation but an inner turmoil…in an argument about something else or in a split-second decision about opening the building’s door to a stranger. The fact that the main gentrifier here is black turns the usual view of the subject inside out: Can one gentrify one’s own home?” ~ NY Magazine.
