From the author of the best-selling novel THE STREET comes a stunning collection of stories that capture a remarkably diverse panorama of the African-American experience in the 1950s and 1960s--stories of "a small-town pharmacist's family, a New York nightclub drummer, a high school English teacher, a factory worker, a junk dealer, [and] a charmingly perceptive 12-year-old" (Christian Science Monitor). Set mainly along the East Coast, these realistic tales are, as one reviewer said, "a rare pleasure" (Belles Lettres) to read, as powerful today as they were when they were first published in 1971.

Has a 3 x 4 sticker on the inside cover, with a name blacked out. Otherwise, the book is like new.
