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 risqué at that time.
Equally provocative are the âOther Sketches.â These include two short stories: âThe Octoroon Slave of Cuba,â an alternative to âtragic mulattoâ fiction, and âUncle Joe,â an African-American folktale. The six personal essays, including âMy Trip to Baltimoreâ and âGive the Negro a Chance,â are as compelling now as they were then in depicting the West after Reconstruction.
