Look Away! A Dixie Notebook

Descripción

First edition. Small gift inscription on front pastedown, else fine in near fine dust jacket with a thin sliver chipped at the top edges. James Street, from Mississippi, notes in his foreword: "Much of this story I grew up with. The rest I lived as a reporter in the South. Some of it was told me by my Aunt Mattie, a flabby old Negro woman who nursed me through childhood and who amused me with bedtime stories of her adventures as a slave and as a voodoo woman." Several of the stories feature African-American characters, with portions of the text written in a Southern black dialect.
