About This Item
New York: Charles Scribners Sons, (1978). First edition, this copy inscribed, signed & dated in ink at the title page by Kristen Hunter Lattany. Octavo (8.5" x 6"), [6] & 314 pages. Publisher's red cloth-patterned paper over boards lettered in silver on the spine, in pictorial dust jacket.
Edges of the text block lightly foxed, otherwise fine in slightly toned dust jacket, still about fine.
Kristin Hunter (1931 - 2008), an African American author, comments on her writing:
"The bulk of my work has dealt, imaginatively, I hope, with relations between the white and black races in America. My early work was "objective," that is, sympathetic to both whites and blacks, and seeing members of both groups from a perspective of irony and humor against the wider backdrop of human experience as a whole. Since about 1968 my subjective anger has been emerging, along with my grasp of the real situation in this society, though my sense of humor and my basic optimism keep cropping up like uncontrollable weeds."
