Terry McMillan, Bertice Berry, and Connie Briscoe are just a few of the more than 50 African-American writers who contributed to Gumbo, an extraordinary anthology of fiction edited by Marita Golden and E. Lynn Harris. A selection of new and previously published stories written by established and new talent, Gumbo includes tales of love, luck, inspiration and desperation, hip new worlds and hallowed heritage.
Gumbo not only exposes readers to wonderful literary content, it also gives them a chance to cultivate the future of black writing. All royalties from the book sales will benefit The Hurston/Wright Foundation, whose mission is to "Develop, nurture and sustain the world community of writers of African descent."
Gumbo contributors include: Walter Mosley, Nicole Bailey-Williams, Bebe Moore Campbell, Pearl Cleage, J. California Cooper, John Edgar Wideman, Valerie Wilson Wesley, Brian Keith Jackson, Eric Jerome Dickey, David Haynes, Veronica Chambers, and many many more.
Praise For Gumbo:
"This sprawling collection handily reflects the diversity and vibrancy of African American fiction. Readers can also take comfort in the fact that they aren't just getting a real bang for their fiction bucks, they're also supporting a worthy cause."
-Publishers Weekly
"A bountiful celebration of fiction"
-The Oprah Magazine
