 Damballah - ReadingBee.com
Damballah, Wideman's collection of stories about the fictionalized fl community of Homewood, is the first in a trilogy consisting of Damballah, Hiding Place, and Sent for You Yesterday.
Wideman's writing is powerfully visceral, not tempered with sentiment or poetic prose, which is one reason it is not more widely read than it is. His intelligent and inventive use of language and his concern with the psychological issues that affect African Americans, however, make his work essential.
Damballah is pure Wideman, and if you have not yet read him, it is a good place to start.

Damballah in Haiti is identified with St Patrick, because in the picture of St. Patrick, he is shown chasing the serpents from Ireland.

 Black Fortunes
While "Hiding Place" is a novel set in present-day Pittsburgh, "Damballah" is a collection of interrelated stories that begins in Africa and traces the fortunes of one fl family in the United States through slavery, escape and settlement in the North.
This is something of a departure for him, and in freeing his voice from the confines of the novel form, he has written what is possible his most impressive work.
After the evocative richness of "Damballah," "Hiding Place" is something of a disappointment; the novel's minutely focused view of the relationship between Bess and Tommy simply does not mesh well with its ornate style.
