paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Princeton. 1999. Princeton University Press. 1st Princeton University Press Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0691059942. Edited, With An Introduction and Notes by Dean McWilliams. 192 pages. paperback. Cover: Cati Laporte. keywords: African American Literature America. DESCRIPTION - All white men are the enemies of Paul Marchand, free man of color - and he especially hates the Beaurepas family, arrogant Creoles whom he sees almost daily on the streets of New Orleans. But what happens when Marchand discovers the integral part he will be forced to play in the disturbing history of that very family? Although he was the first African-American writer of fiction to gain acceptance by America's white literary establishment, Charles Chesnutt (1858-1932) has been eclipsed in popularity by other writers who later rose to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance. Recently this path-breaking American writer has been receiving an increasing amount of attention. Two of his novels, PAUL MARCHAND, F.M.C. (completed in 1921) and THE QUARRY (completed in 1928), were considered too incendiary to he published during Chesnutt's lifetime. Their publication now provides us not only the opportunity to read these two books previously missing from Chesnutt's oeuvre but also the chance to appreciate better the intellectual progress of this literary pioneer. Paul Marchand, who lives in the multinational society of New Orleans in the l920s, is despised by white society for being a quadroon, yet he is a proud, wealthy and well-educated man. In this city where great wealth and great poverty exist side by side, the richest Creole in town is dying. Pierre Beaurepas's family eagerly and greedily awaits disposition of his wealth. As the bombshell of the old man's will explodes, Marchand is drawn inexorably into contact with Beaurepas's racist family. Bringing to life the entwined racial cultures of New Orleans society, Chesnutt not only writes an exciting tale of adventure and mystery but also makes a provocative comment on the nature of racial identity, self - worth, and family loyalty. inventory #32563.
