      abstract = {Tracks the personal odyssey of perhaps the least  understood man in Washington, from his poor childhood in  Pin Point and Savannah, Georgia, to his educational  experiences in a Catholic seminary and Holy Cross, to his  law school years at Yale during the Black Power era, to his  rise within the Republican political establishment. It  offers a window into a man who straddles two different  worlds and is uneasy in both--and whose divided personality  and conservative political philosophy will deeply influence  American life for years to come. This book originated from  a profile of Clarence Thomas that appeared in The  Washington Post Magazine. In it, Merida and Fletcher, both  Post staffers, both black, crafted a haunting portrait of  an isolated and bitter man, savagely reviled by much of the  black community yet not entirely comfortable in white  society.--From publisher description.},
