What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf? (Literary Fiction) represented by Kent Wolf at Neon Literary

What Time Is It Mr. Wolf? is a mythologized account of Craigwell-Graham’s uncle’s struggle with mental illness growing up in Baltimore public housing in the 1950-60s.

“As mental illness in Black communities continues to be underrecognized and underreported, I hope my uncle’s story creates space and conversations to help others.”
