ReviewsPraise for Eric Jerome Dickey "[O]ne of the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century."-- The New York Times "Eric Jerome Dickey's work is a master class in Black joy....[his] characters--bold, smart women oozing sexuality and vulnerability--navigate interpersonal conflicts using dialogue that crackles with authenticity."-- The Atlantic "Dickey has the knack for creating characters who elicit both rage and sympathy."-- Entertainment Weekly "[A] heartfelt erotic drama.... the setting is artfully crafted, the characters' struggles are real and moving, and the sex those characters have is flaming hot."-- Publishers Weekly on The Business of Lovers "Best-selling author of street-wise romance Dickey's latest is a contemporary erotic tale of ambitions delayed."-- Booklist on The Business of Lovers "In this sensual road trip across LA there are deep conversations, adult situations, and a sweet love story at every turn."-- Kirkus Reviews on The Business of Lovers "A passion-filled prequel that puts a new spin on the familiar conflicts that have made him a household name."-- Essence on Before We Were Wicked "Nobody currently publishing today writes sex better than Eric Jerome Dickey."-- Electric Review on Before We Were Wicked, Praise for The Son of Mr. Suleman : "Eric Jerome Dickey is the king of writing Black joy. His characters evoke a sense of esteem for self, showing how they might be if white folks just left them alone. If we could just be our happy, sensual, ambitious, free selves we would be modeling one of his characters. However, this book takes on grief, racism, and microaggressions in a big way, too; it's the first of his works to do so with such detailed intention."-- W Magazine , Delores Williams "Dickey's posthumously published novel is a shining example of his skill at combining a compelling narrative voice, sharp social commentary, and poetic prose to create a complex tale featuring sensual characters with truly unique perspectives."-- Booklist Praise for Eric Jerome Dickey and his novels: "[O]ne of the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century."-- The New York Times "Eric Jerome Dickey's work is a master class in Black joy....[his] characters--bold, smart women oozing sexuality and vulnerability--navigate interpersonal conflicts using dialogue that crackles with authenticity."-- The Atlantic "Dickey has the knack for creating characters who elicit both rage and sympathy."-- Entertainment Weekly "[A] heartfelt erotic drama.... the setting is artfully crafted, the characters' struggles are real and moving, and the sex those characters have is flaming hot."-- Publishers Weekly on The Business of Lovers "Best-selling author of street-wise romance Dickey's latest is a contemporary erotic tale of ambitions delayed."-- Booklist on The Business of Lovers "In this sensual road trip across LA there are deep conversations, adult situations, and a sweet love story at every turn."-- Kirkus Reviews on The Business of Lovers "A passion-filled prequel that puts a new spin on the familiar conflicts that have made him a household name."-- Essence on Before We Were Wicked "Nobody currently publishing today writes sex better than Eric Jerome Dickey."-- Electric Review on Before We Were Wicked

SynopsisNamed in USA Today 's "5 books not to miss," and New York Post 's "The best new books to read" From New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey--named one of USA Today 's 100 Black Novelists and Fiction Authors You Should Read--comes his final work: an unflinchingly timely novel about history, hearts, and family. It's the summer of 2019, and Professor Pi Suleman is a Black man from Memphis with a lot to endure--not only as a Black man in Trump's America but in his hard-earned career as an adjunct professor. Pi is constantly forced to bite his tongue in the face of one of his tenured colleague's prejudices and microaggressions. At the same time, he's being blackmailed by a powerful professor who threatens to claim he has assaulted her, when in fact the truth is just the opposite, trapping him in a he-said-she-said with a white woman that, in this society, Pi knows he will never win. When he meets Gemma Buckingham, a sophisticated entrepreneur who has just moved to Memphis from London to escape a deep heartbreak, things begin to look up. Though Gemma and Pi hail from separate cultures, their differences fuel a fiery and passionate connection that just may consume them both. But Pi's whirlwind romance is interrupted when his absentee father, a celebrated writer, passes away and Pi is called to Los Angeles to both collect his inheritance and learn about the man who never acknowledged him. With the complicated legacy of his famous father to make sense of, Gemma's visa expiration date looming, and the threats of his colleague becoming increasingly intense, Pi must figure out who he is and what kind of man he will become in his father's shadow. In The Son of Mr. Suleman , Eric Jerome Dickey takes readers on a powerful journey exploring racism, colorism, life as a mixed-race person, sexual assault, microaggressions, truth and lies, cultural differences, politics, family legacies, perceptions, the impact of enslavement and Jim Crow, code-switching, the power of death, and the weight of love. It is an extraordinary story, page-turning and intense, and a book only Dickey could write., From Memphis to L.A. and back again, Eric Jerome Dickey takes readers on an intense and sensual journey as Professor Pi Suleman deals with sexual assault and racism, fights being changed by his father's truths, and also discovers untruths his new partner Gemma Buckingham has hidden for her own reasons
