About This Item
Very good plus in unclipped dust jacket which is a little rubbed. Slightest hint of foxing on top edge. An unusually nice copy of this Pulitzer Prize collection of stories. Blurb by Ralph Ellison on rear of dust jacket.
Synopsis
A beautiful collection of short stories that explores modern racial inequity, Elbow Room is alive with warmth and humor. Bold and very real, these twelve stories examine a world we all know but find difficult to define. Whether a story dashes the bravado of young street toughs or pierces through the self-deception of a failed preacher, challenges the audacity of a killer, or explodes the jealousy of two lovers, James Alan McPherson has created an array of haunting images and memorable characters in an unsurpassed collection of honest, masterful fiction.
