Recensione:
"Readers familiar with Marshall's novels, Brown Girl, Brownstones; The Chosen Place, The Timeless People; and Praisesong for the Widow, will welcome this collection of her early short fiction. Those who have yet to make Marshall's acquaintance have an enormous treat in store." —Publishers Weekly
"The stories collected here are stories of transcendence and continuity. Paule Marshall's characters battle the twin oppressions of sexism and racism, and it is the self that emerges as the ultimate source of strength. Marshall attests to the maxim and the will to power over circumstance is, for the black woman, the will to write." —Henry Louis Gates, Jr., author of Colored People
"Black women are shown in Marshall's stories creating the power to define their lives. Reading these stories is both a political act and a great joy." —Mary Helen Washington, editor of Black-Eyed Susans
