About
This collection includes a novella, two short stories, and six essays. The title story, the first novel written by an African American in the West, takes place in Virginia and addresses adultery and divorce, subjects considered radical and risque at that time. Equally provocative are the "Other Sketches." These include two short stories: "The Octoroon Slave of Cuba," an alternative to "tragic mulatto" fiction, and "Uncle Joe," an African-American folk tale. The six personal essays, including "My Trip to Baltimore" and "Give the Negro a Chance are as compelling now as they were then in depicting the West after Reconstruction.
