About This Item
Twelve stories about black Americans that explore relations between blacks and whites in the 1960s and 1970s, soon after the rigid social order of the past had broken down. The volume won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1978.
Synopsis
A beautiful collection of short stories that explores modern racial inequity, Elbow Room is alive with warmth and humor. Bold and very real, these twelve stories examine a world we all know but find difficult to define. Whether a story dashes the bravado of young street toughs or pierces through the self-deception of a failed preacher, challenges the audacity of a killer, or explodes the jealousy of two lovers, James Alan McPherson has created an array of haunting images and memorable characters in an unsurpassed collection of honest, masterful fiction.
