Dennis Watlington is not your typical Black man.Chasing Americais his story of walking the tightrope of American racial politics and finding acceptance always elusive. "Chasing Americais an epic tale of the black experience in late 20th century America. Author Dennis Watlington has seen it all, and makes no excuses for his addictions, petty crimes and squandered opportunities, but the soul-crushing racism that surrounds him speaks for itself as he makes his way from Harlem and the Deep South on into the larger, white-run world. The life he ends up creating--as a husband and father, as a playwright, actor and writer, and as a friend who never forgets the old neighborhood--are a tribute to his innate decency, his sheer talent and his inspiring capacity for self-renewal." Beth Harpaz, author ofFinding Annie Farrell "Chasing Americacovers many topics from drug addiction, sex, interracial marriages, racism to redemption. Dennis Watlington's experience is a good example of how God deals with us as individuals." Armstrong WilliamsWatlington, Dennis is the author of 'Chasing America Notes from a Rock N' Soul Integrationist', published 2006 under ISBN 9780312271893 and ISBN 0312271891.
