Revue de presse :
"In its strong folk flavor, Cooper's work reminds us of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston...It is a delight to read."
--Alice Walker
"The label 'short' story is a woefully inadequate description of these intensely, explicitly moral tales. 'Parable' is more appropriate. Cooper's stories are rich in wisdom and insight."
--Belles Lettres
"J. California Cooper is indeed an extraordinary writer...She has the rare quality of a natural storyteller, and her work must carry the highest recommendation. Definitely a book that's worth reading."
--African Concord (Zimbabwe)

Description du livre paperback. 1st edition. London. 1986. Women's Press. 1st British Paperback Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0704339897. 124 pages. paperback. Cover illustration by Leslee Wills. keywords: Literature Black America Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - From her first collection of short stories, A PIECE OF MINE, to the recently published THE FUTURE HAS A PAST, J. California Cooper has introduced an appealing and diverse cast of characters struggling to make the right choices and find happiness in a society that prefers light skin over dark, money over spirit. The central characters are often women entangled in a tradition of oppression and the inescapable traps of racism, sexism, and poverty. Many of the stories are narrated in the first-person, capturing the cadences of ordinary conversations and lending the stories the intimacy and resonance of gossip shared among friends. They are alive with wry observations on the human tendency toward foolish choices and impetuous behavior, a rich understanding of the small comforts that provide respite from big struggles, and a wisdom based on faith in God and in humankind's potential for goodness. 'It's a rare pleasure to follow the quick and pointed intelligence that animates Rosser's poems. Some are sonnets, some are long and lean, but all have clear, idiosyncratic voices. They come bearing philosophy, nostalgia, rabies, chicken soup and the head of Holofernes. They're funny, tart, perceptive - good company. And more than one goes armed with a blackjack ending.' - Sarah Lindsay. inventory #34555 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. N° de réf. du vendeur z34555
