Book Synopsis
The first African American fiction writer to earn a national reputation, Charles W. Chesnutt remains best known for his depictions of Southern life before and after the Civil War.

Trade Review
“Recently, literary scholars have rediscovered Chesnutt’s graceful, ironic, and taut prose...and his works are assigned in many American literature courses. He teaches well: College students enjoy learning about Reconstruction, a fascinating and under-known period in American history, and reading Chesnutt’s subtle prose and still-pertinent treatments of American race relations.”
