Media Reviews
"The lyrical stories in Carolyn Ferrell's stunning debut collection explore characters that often appear as stereotypes." -- Linda Raymond
-- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"The eight stories in this debut collection, mostly focusing on girls in the 'hood, mingle a welcome touch of poetry with rough urban realism....More than simple authenticity, Ferrell offers a complex vision of ghetto life mingling hurt and hope: work satisfying as art, and disturbing as sociology."
-- Kirkus
"...Carolyn Ferrell's first collection of stories...is much more than poetic plums. In fact, it's intimate in the way you used to hope a good book could be..." -- Katharine Whittemore
-- New York Times Book Review
"In this accomplished first collection of short stories, most of Ferrell's characters are either poor or just barely managing to survive in the working class, and all are in some way living on the narrow edge of life....[They] never stop hoping for a better life, doggedly pursuing their goals and struggling to maintain their integrity rather than succumb to despair. Their victories register in the precision and acute self-awareness of their very speech." -- Paula Friedman
-- Washington Post Book World

The Return of Simple
by Langston Hughes
In 1943, Langston Hughes introduced Jesse B. Semple, or "Simple," to readers in is Chicago Defender Column, "From Here To Yonder." From his familiar perch in a fictional Harlem bar, Simple held forth on a variety of subjects--low wages, interracial marriage, birth control, race riots, the police--then central to black life in urban America . More than fifty years later, Simple's concerns are, startlingly, still ours, and his voice, ringing with poetic wisdom and humor, reminds us of the rich African-American folk tradition Langston Hughes helped to revive. This brilliantly edited collection by Akiba Sullivan Harper brings together the best stories from a number of SIMPLE volumes long out of print and a few never before published. Its feel is so contemporary and relevant to American life one must marvel at Huges's ability to pass through the barrier of time.
The Gentle Insurrection and Other Stories
by Doris Betts
The stories in this extraordinary first collection are concerned with some of the most private and complicated issues: living and dying, growing old, questioning one's beliefs, and recognizing one's own failings. Whether it is an old man struggling to come to terms with an incident in his past or a meddling spinster who is forced to recognize the subtle dance of resentment, in each of these stories a "gentle insurrection" occurs that changes lives forever.
