A collection of stories from a brilliant yet little known African American artist and filmmaker-a contemporary of revered writers including Toni Cade Bambara Laurie Colwin Ann Beattie Amy Hempel and Grace Paley-whose prescient work has recently resurfaced to wide acclaim now available as a Harper Perennial Olive Edition. Humorous poignant perceptive and full of grace Kathleen Collins's stories masterfully blend the quotidian and the profound in a personal intimate way exploring deep far-reaching issues-race gender family and sexuality-that shape the ordinary moments in our lives. In The Uncle a young girl who idolizes her handsome uncle and his beautiful wife makes a haunting discovery about their lives. In Only Once a woman reminisces about her charming daredevil of a lover and his ultimate-and final-act of foolishness. Collins's work seamlessly integrates the African-American experience in her characters' lives creating rich devastatingly familiar full-bodied men women and children who transcend the symbolic penetrating both the reader's head and heart. Both contemporary and timeless Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? is a major addition to the literary canon and is sure to earn Kathleen Collins the widespread recognition she is long overdue. This book is part of a special series from Harper Perennial called Olive Editions-exclusive small-format editions of some of our bestselling and celebrated titles featuring beautiful and unique hand-drawn cover illustrations. All Olive Editions are available for a limited time only.
