  An American love story cast in deepest noir. It?s the story of a black woman named Nettie who comes to New York to be a model but grows too big and ends up as a designer. Like Chester Himes? The End of a Primitive, Walking Bones is an American tragedy that unpicks the sexuality of racism and the strange contradictions of sexual power. Urban and precise yet oddly dreamlike, Walking Bones, like the blues, reflects big city life in the US today.
