Description: "Meteor in the Madhouse is made up of five interconnected novellas framed by an account of the last days in the life of playwright Joubert Antoine Jones, a character immortalized in Divine Days. Refining motifs found in Forrest's earlier works, Meteor in the Madhouse is a celebration of the rich, complex, and ambiguous aspects of twentieth-century African American culture."--BOOK JACKET.
