About the Author:
Review:
George Wylie Henderson (1904-65) was born in Tuskegee, Alabama. After obtaining training as a typesetter and printer at Tuskegee Institute, he moved to New York. He worked as a Linotype operator for one of the daily newspapers and became a literary participant in the Harlem Renaissance. Henderson wrote for the New York Daily News starting in the 1930s, and he published two novels, Ollie Miss (1935) and Jule (1946).
“Ollie Miss is a woman of such extraordinary sensuality that men are literally made ill, paralyzed, by her presence. [She] appears from nowhere in the small, all-black community in Macon County, Alabama, which is the setting for this novel. She is utterly alone and completely self-sufficient. A satisfying novel.” —Southern Quarterly
“Ollie Miss is a character you don’t forget... this book is a part of American as well as Black American literature.” —Academic Library Book Review
