Reseña del editor
Introducing the first volume in an exciting new annual anthology featuring the year's most outstanding fiction by some of today’s finest African American writers.
From stories that depict black life in times gone by to those that address contemporary issues, this inaugural volume gathers the very best recent African American fiction. Created during a period of electrifying political dialogue and cultural, social, and economic change that is sure to captivate the imaginations of writers and readers for years to come, the short stories and novel excerpts collected here explore a rich variety of subjects. But most of all, they represent exceptional artistry.
The writers whose work is included are both established names and up-and-comers, ranging from Edward P. Jones, Walter Dean Myers, and Stephen L. Carter to ZZ Packer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Mat Johnson, and Junot Díaz. They write about subjects as diverse as the complexities of black middle-class life and the challenges of interracial relationships, a modern-day lynching in the South, and a young musician’s coming-of-age during the Harlem Renaissance. What unites these stories, whether set in suburbia and “the heart of whiteness” in eighteenth-century New York City or on a Caribbean island that is supposed to be “brown-skin paradise” is their creators’ passionate engagement with matters of the human heart.
Masterful and engaging, this first volume of Best African American Fiction 2009 features stories you’ll want to savor, share, and return to again and again.
