More about the book
The collection features four long stories that explore themes of identity and race through richly developed characters facing personal crises in diverse settings, including Barbados and Brazil. A prim old Negro confronts his own life choices through a young servant's experiences, while an aging Jewish professor's attempts to teach a part-Negro student lead to his downfall. The narratives reveal a profound exploration of life's contrasts—black and white, life and death—illustrated through evocative prose that captures the complexity of human existence.
