You’re right, why did I have the impression he was a black writer!! I must be confusing him with someone else! Thanks for pulling me up on that.
I’m sure that’s what happened.
Actually, I think it’s because I have The Time of Our Singing on my shelf and the cover and premise gave me that impression, looking at it now, I can see how I might have thought that. Hmm.
That’s interesting. I haven’t read that one.
