A Gathering of Old Menby Gaines, Ernest
DescriptionKnopf 1st, 1983, Fair-/VG+. Ex-library and so marked in various ways, 1st end paper, last end paper. Book quite rather rough, spine a bit cocked. Jacket crisp and newish, price clipped.*We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. We assure the buyer that books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, using the strict, traditional standards.*. First Edition. Book summaryA story of racism, violence, and self-realization set in backwoods Louisiana under the Jim Crow era. The action is set in motion when a white farmer is murdered by a black, in circumstances reminiscent of the notorious Emmet Till case of the 1950s. Rather than allow the defendant to be summarily executed--or lynched--fifteen elderly black men go to the local sheriff and each confess to the crime, thereby making prosecution of the case virtually impossible.
