Feelings

Every once in a while, there comes along an author who captures in real time the spirit of a particular society. One such author, in my view, is Memphis-born Tempie D. King, author of ‘Feelings’ (ISBN -4241-0706-7), first published by Maryland-based, traditional publisher PublishAmerica LLLP in 2006. This 164-page publication is a modern-day classic written in the literary tradition of the Deep South. Its treatment of its subject matter resembles such writers as the renowned Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Ernest Hemingway and Og Mandino, who are the author’s idols.
