description: If you’ve ever dreamed of a guided tour through a Black man’s psyche, be careful what you wish for! In his debut novel, Gerald K. Malcom masterfully weaves the hilarious and all-too-human tale of Jordan Styles – the hunky, faithful, divorced dad, whose healthy ego belies his honest anxieties about being single for the first time in ten years, and back in "The Game." "After The Games Are Played" is a multi-layered joy ride through explorations of relationships, all with the introspective and witty Jordan at the helm. It begins with the hyper-dramatic (yet magnetic and comforting) failed marriage to Serene, the conniving mother of Jordan’s only child - a laughable on-again, off-again saga that serves as a measure of Jordan’s restraint. As he struggles to regain his footing as a single guy in Washington, DC, where women far outnumber the men, Jordan manages to attract women as easily as he always had, without much effort or interest; that is, until he finally meets his match in the drama-free, independent shero, Traci. But is this just another game for Jordan to win? The story unfolds with the thrill of a basketball buzzer-beater and as in most games, there are other players, namely l-o-v-e, and no one wants to lose.
