Jones writes into Washington, D.C., with his judicious left eye on the full hearts of his characters and his vigilant right eye attuned to the wolf at their door. His classically orchestrated novel, \u201cThe Residue Years,\u201d novel, is suffused with humor, lyricism and compassion. It follows the parallel narratives of a mother and son whose lives are shaped by their involvement with drugs. Grace, the mother, recently released from jail, is struggling to stay clean. Her son, Champ, a college student, is dealing on the side, and convincing himself that he\u2019ll avoid being caught. Jackson is a powerfully confident writer, with an unerring ability to embody voices. Grace\u2019s fearfulness and doubt and Champ\u2019s certainty and swagger form striking counterpoints in a story about the way poverty and policy can destroy a family.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>From\u00a0<\/em>The Residue Years<\/p>\n<p>Peoples, you listening?<\/p>\n<p>Bet.<\/p>\n<p>This is how it go.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re cold enough they name you.<\/p>\n<p>Clutch or Jack Knife or K-Dub or 3-D or Dead Eye or D-Reid or Big Third or Smooth or DaBell\u2014score twenty or thirty a\u00a0season, and bam, you\u2019re Stu or Pickle or Free or Fish or Big Blass or King Cole or Doc\u2014they\u2019ve christened you T-hop or B-hop or Pooh or Fluff or the Honey Bee or Houseguest or B-Moore or J.
