    “Lifeless elegance of hotels and apartment buildings,” explains the Narrator as he and his brother, Sonny, drive through their home city of Harlem, New York, for the first time in a while—since Sonny recovered from a drug addiction. The setting remains in Harlem, but shifts between the past and the present as the Narrator weaves through the story; he explains his conversation with their mother about his younger brother, “You got to hold on to your brother,” his aversion to Sonny’s musical interest, and his life as a married man and Algebra teacher. The brothers struggle to communicate, as Sonny laments, “I hear you. But you never hear anything I say,” and the Narrator pushes Sonny towards quieting his musical aspirations but Sonny often quiets his true emotional reactions instead.
