BAILEY'S CAFE

Gloria Naylor

Bailey's Cafe consists of a loosely intertwined group of stories, all told in first person, about the owners and patrons of Bailey's Cafe, an apparently supernatural establishment, set nominally in New York City, whose entrance can be found from different places and times.

Set in a diner where the food isn't very good and the ambience veers between heaven and hell, this bestselling novel from the author of Mama Day and The Women of Brewster Place is a feast for the senses and the spirit. -- New York Times Book Review

A collective blues performance in prose ...a lyrical remembrance and triumph over personal catastrophe. --People Bailey's Cafe has the rhythm of music ... and the power of religious allegory. Beneath its symbolic overlay are tales of fractured lives that will move even the most hardened reader. -- Vogue A dazzling novel. When you enter Bailey's Cafe, you won't leave without being touched by the wonder and the horror that lie there. -- Entertainment Weekly
