Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Fiction. African American Studies. LGBT Studies. Using traditional storytelling and nontraditional verse to chronicle the course of love returning in the lifetimes of one woman-loving-woman named bull-dog-jean, the bull-jeanstories give cultural documentation and social commentary on African-American herstory and survival. Set in the rural South of the 1920s, THE BULL-JEAN STORIES herald the spirit of African-American people."BULL-JEAN STORIES by Sharon Bridgforth isn't a book that you read, it's a book that you hear.The language in THE BULL-JEAN STORIES is sweet and intense, as are the thoughts and exploits of bull-dog-jean. Every passage sings.This book gets my unqualified recommendation and also a suggestion: if you can get Austin performance artist Bridgforth to your town for a reading, do it. You won't be disappointed."-Sara Look"The book [THE BULL-JEAN STORIES] brings to life the sights and sounds of the rural south in the 1920s with stories that leap to you from the well of love and life, untangling open heart wounds with words and uncovering the strength of the author in pure character. .Bridgforth's talent as a storyteller is purposeful and loving. Consistent in THE BULL-JEAN STORIES is the cultural shadow that bull-jean, an 'all-my-heart' revolutionary, secretly and outwardly conquers with nobility and ease, but not without pain.The book carries you with it, not the other way around."-Sandra Beckmeier".Set in the rural South of the 1920s, these stories are infused with a mother tongue that will work its magic on you, transporting you in time and place.The non-linear structure of her poetic/circular storytelling in the bull- jean stories makes for a natural transition from page to stage. It also is a very ingenious way to highlight what is the essence of oral tradition: how it sounds.Here the rhythm and the flow of the words and the dialect come together as if in song. These jazzy poetic riffs need to be read aloud. This is one book that should come with a CD-Bridgforth's language begs to be heard."-Debra Hiers"It reads like a play, speaks like a poem, visualizes like scenes from a movie, and lingers in your ear like your favorite song. Hooray for sharon bridgforth on her first published performance stories. It includes all the literary elements you expect in a novel: setting-the rural south of the 1920s; a round character-bull- dog jean la rue; plot and conflict-will she or won't she find 'Lovve'?; and style, tone, and language woven in the oral tradition of Southern dialect. Yet it's not (a novel, that is).Perhaps the brilliance of the work is the way bridgforth infuses historical data into humor, sentiment, and lyrical prose, illuminating what it meant to be an African-American butch lesbian living in the South.Truly, what bridgforth has done with this collection, THE BULL-JEAN STORIES, is sure to set a precedent for future storytelling writers. It is a must-have in your repertoire."-Lambda Book Report.

paperback. 1st edition. New York. 1981. Vintage Books. 1st Vintage Paperback Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0394750500. 295 pages. paperback. Cover: Montiel. keywords: Literature America Black Women Paperback. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Second of all is Velma: daughter, mother, wife, friend, worker - and an attempted suicide. She has survived self-slashed wrists and gassed lungs and now she sits on a stool in the Southwest Community Infirmary. For some reason she is not sure of, she did not die. And for another reason she is also not sure of, she is sitting on this stool in a radical medical center listening to a faith healer asking her 'Are you sure, sweetheart, that you want to be well?' Thirdly is Minnie Ransom - fabulous healer in beige T-strap shoes - love and wisdom incarnate who (with her spirit-guide, Old Wife) marshals all of her gifts to help Velma deal with the things that made her thirsty for death: Was it Obie who did not love her well or enough? the friends who misunderstood her? the haunted quality of life itself since the bottoming-out of the Movement? But first of all are the Salt Eaters - the Black people who inhabit a city somewhere in the South called Claybourne, and who are connected to the healing taking place and who witness an event that alters their lives forever. M'Dear Sophie, Velma's godmother; Doc Serge, ex-pimp and neighborhood sage; Palma, Velma's sister and member of a singing troupe called the Seven Sisters of the Grain; Obie, head of the ominous 7 Arts Academy; Fred Holt, bus driver and mourner; Dr. Meadows, a 'redbone' Black who is terrified of his own people. Whether Toni Cade Bambara sits us down at a healing, or moves us through Claybourne at carnival time or chills us with a mysterious thunderstorm, she locks us into the lives of the Salt Eaters. Some of them are centered, some are off balance; some are frightened, some are daring. But all are brilliantly drawn representatives of a people searching for the healing properties of salt. Equally as stunning as her characters is Ms. Bambara's vision. From the boymen who live off welfare women, to the primordial mud mothers who carry their children in their hides, to a little girl watching her godparents dance in the sand, the author explores the narcissistic qualities of despair and the tremendous responsibility of being a well person. (As Minnie Ransom says, 'Sweetheart, wholeness is no trifling matter.') As always Ms. Bambara's style is comedy with a knife's edge, and tragedy with balm. After years of acclaim as one of our finest short-story writers, Toni Cade Bambara has written a show-stopper of a first novel. inventory #31350 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.
