Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What, what, am I to do with all of this life? Maud Martha Brown is a little girl growing up on the South Side of 1940s Chicago. Amidst the crumbling taverns and overgrown yards, she dreams: of New York, romance, her future. She admires dandelions, learns to drink coffee, falls in love, decorates her kitchenette, visits the Jungly Hovel, guts a chicken, buys hats, gives birth. But her lighter-skinned husband has dreams too: of the Foxy Cats Club, other women, war. And the 'scraps of baffled hate' - a certain word from a saleswoman; that visit to the cinema; the cruelty of a department store Santa Claus- are always there . Written in 1953 but never published in Britain, Maud Martha is a poetic collage of happenings that forms an extraordinary portrait of an ordinary life: one lived with wisdom, humour, protest, rage, dignity, and joy.'I loved it and want everyone to read this lost literary treasure.' - Bernardine Evaristo Introduced by Margo Jefferson, this forgotten novel by the Pulitzer-winning poet is a miniature wonder, chronicling one woman's coming-of-age in 1940s Chicago. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Uma joia redescoberta da literatura norte-americana, Maud Martha é o único romance de Gwendolyn Brooks, aclamada poeta e primeira escritora afro-americana a ganhar o prêmio Pulitzer.Maud Martha Brown é uma menina negra que cresceu no South Side de Chicago, na década de 1940. Ela sonha com Nova York, um romance e seu futuro. Ela adora dentes-de-leão, aprende a tomar café, apaixona-se, decora sua cozinha, visita o Jungly Hovel, estripa uma galinha, compra chapéus, dá à luz. Mas seu marido de pele mais clara também tem sonhos: quer entrar para o Foxy Cats Club, deseja outras mulheres, fantasia com a guerra. No passar do tempo, "fragmentos de um ódio confuso" estão sempre presentes: a forma como uma vendedora a tratou; uma ida ao cinema; a crueldade que sofre em uma loja de departamentos.A partir de breves vinhetas, Gwendolyn Brooks constrói um retrato extraordinário de uma vida comum, marcada por sabedoria, humor, raiva, dignidade e alegria. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1953 e inédito no Brasil, o livro inclui um prefácio de Margo Jefferson, que destaca a capacidade da protagonista de reivindicar seus próprios direitos e liberdades através da imaginação.; 168 pages.
