Afterword by Kinohi Nishikawa
“A gem of Americana . . . These stories span the early decades of the 20th century and address with nuance the Black characters’ negotiations with youthful turmoil, sexual desire, and race in the U.S. . . . This deserves a place on the shelf of mid-century classics.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
A classic of 1950s Black fiction: stories of loners, outsiders, tricksters, addicts, jazzmen, and drifters in the Jim Crow South by “a writer with a perfect ear, a warm heart, and an amazing capacity to seize character and make it live” (Selden Rodman, The New York Times)
