About This Item
Publisher's red cloth, ruled and decorated in blind, with gilt spine and upper board lettering, octavo, pp. 448. First edition; second impression. Fore-edge and bottom-edge pages uncut. Front hinge just beginning to show tenderness. GOOD with shelf and handling wear. See BAL 7149. Also, regarding this novel in his biography of Harris (Athens, 1987), R. Bruce Bickley, Jr., writes "Harris's dialect portraits in Gabriel Tolliver are brilliant, but the real strength of his Reconstruction tale lies in his depiction of the restlessness, uneasiness, and strange silence pervasive among the blacks who are trying to come to grips with their new freedom after the war (141)."
