The Portable Charles W. Chesnutt
Charles W. Chesnutt, William L. Andrews, Henry Louis Gates Jr.
An icon of late-nineteenth-century American fiction, Charles W. Chesnutt - an incisive storyteller of the aftermath of slavery in the South - is widely credited with almost single-handedly inaugurating the African American short story tradition and was the first African American novelist to achieve national critical acclaim. This collection features an ideal sampling of his work: twelve short stories, including conjure tales and protest fiction, three essays, and the novel The Marrow of Tradition (1901) to create the perfect introduction to this quintessential American writer.
