Paperback. Etat : Good. Imagine an America still somewhat naive. It is 1965. Vietnam has not yet divided the country, Martin Luther King, Jr. has won the Nobel Peace Prize, and the Civil Rights Act has passed. Still, Southern blacks are denied the right to vote, and citizens who believe in fairness know this racism must end. The eyes of the nation focus on Selma, Alabama, where the drama unfolds as the voting rights movement takes center stage. Annie Lee Jones is clubbed while marching. The white woman she raised from babyhood, Leslie Cole, returns to Selma to take her away from the violence, only to have Annie Lee refuse to leave. Protesting voter injustice alongside Annie Lee is the Turner family: soft-mannered Elverse Turner, his fi fteen-year old son, Carlton, and beautiful wife, Mandy. Their involvement with the marches inadvertently uncovers a dark family secret that tests their commitment to equality. Despite court ordered restrictions, police brutality, KKK plots, and even murder, this riveting story celebrates the power of people overcoming all odds to create change.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. In Stories from Shakespeare, Marchette Chute opens wide the gateway to the most varied and glorious world ever created by one man. Her retellings of all thirty-six First Folio plays are superbly lucid. It is not Ms. Chute's purpose to provide a substitute for these immortal comedies, tragedies, and histories; rather she seeks to provide the modern reader with essential insight into Shakespeare's narrative genius, clarifying the intricacies of plot and sharply delineating a host of characters, major and minor alike. This she does with surpassing grace and unobtrusive scholarship, closely following the sequence of onstage action and illuminating it with choice quotations and perceptive comments. The New Yorker has termed this work "a beautifully done job.".…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Upon its initial publication, The Beans of Egypt, Maine became a beloved national bestseller, launching Carolyn Chute's literary career and clinching her reputation as the preeminent voice of America's working poor. Hailed by the New York Times Book Review as startling and original, The Beans of Egypt, Maine introduced the world to the notorious, unforgettable Bean clan of small town Egypt, Maine--from wild man Reuben, an alcoholic who can't seem to keep himself out of jail; to his cousins, the perpetually pregnant Roberta, and Beal, a man gentle by temperament but violent in defeat who marries his pious neighbor Earlene Pomerleau before poverty kills him. As the Beans struggled with their inner demons to survive against hardship and societal ignorance, Chute emerged as a writer of immense humanity and unparalleled insight into a world most of us knew little of--if we'd recognized it at all. Chute's novel pulses with kinetic energy. It seizes the reader on its opening page with a rhythm, a language, a knock-about country humor unmistakably its own. --Newsweek Like Flannery O'Connor, Chute has a gift for expressing the true spirit of a culture but with more subtlety and without overt symbolism. She simply becomes what and whom she sees. --San Francisco Chronicle.…
