If there are 8 million stories in the naked city then Harlem has a million. Most of them can be told by one of its greatest inhabitants – black men. Fame greed love and a sense of purpose are the common denominator. But with new real estate, economic resurgence and a greater divide between the haves and have nots there voices have been lost. In this provocative, witty and uncompromising collection of short stories James Gillard takes you on a journey into the lives of men who scream because they can’t be heard
Listen to a small time drug dealer as he makes a name in the crack game. He will soon learn that it’s not what not what you do that matters, but what you say that does.
Then there’s the rehabilitated writer who returns back to Harlem a place where his past and present collide and only he can tell the difference. Unbeknownst to him he is about to write his greatest work – his life.
Then there’s the jazz connoisseur who watches with apprehension as the young rapper moves into his building. This sets into motion a chain of events, which proves change if even not welcomed is inevitable.
These are some of the voices of men who scream because they can’t be heard.

If Harlem Could Talk It Would Scream Short Stories in Harlem Noire edition by JAMES GILLARD Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
James Gillard is a fantastic and dynamic author. He takes you back to growing up in Harlem and for those who did not, he is also a vivid writer, therefore you can imagine being in Harlem. If you don't already have this book,I suggest you get it now, it is a great book. If Harlem could talk, It would scream is a fantastic read! Enjoy.
Never been to New York but now I'm having a urgency to go and experience the different cultures. This novel was an amazing read. The authors did an amazing job with bringing life to the characters.
I give the book 2 and a half stars. The flow wasn't clear because of too many grammatical errors or typos in the text. The stories also seemed to suggest a bio of the author but not until the end.
Voices of several men of Harlem. The outsiders see the once close knit city crumble and become something new and the old is only a memory. Memories of what the city used to be and the hurt,pain and suffering held by them. Even if they screamed Harlem wouldn't hear.
Well written.
