DESCRIPTION - Was Donald Glover really what he seemed - a handsome, dedicated, and clever African-American star of the Harlem Renaissance, whose looks made him the 'quarry' of a variety of women - or could the secrets of his birth change his destiny entirely? Focusing on the meaning of racial identity, this novel moves inexorably toward a surprising denouement. Although he was the first African-American writer of fiction to gain acceptance by America's white literary establishment, Charles Chesnutt (1858 - 1932) has been eclipsed in popularity by other writers who later rose to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance. Recently, this path- breaking American writer has been receiving an increasing amount of attention. Two of his novels, PAUL MARCHAND, F.M.C. (completed in 1921) and THE QUARRY (completed in 1928), were considered too incendiary to be published during Chesnutt's lifetime. Their publication now provides us not only the opportunity to read these two books previously missing from Chesnutt's oeuvre but also the chance to appreciate better the intellectual progress of this literary pioneer. Bringing to life the culture of Harlem in the 1920s, Charles Chesnutt's final novel dramatizes the political and aesthetic milieu of the exciting period we now know as the Harlem Renaissance. Mixing fact and fiction, and real and imagined characters, THE QUARRY is peopled with so many figures of the time - including Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey - that it constitutes a virtual guide to this inspiring period in American history. Protagonist Glover is a light-skinned man, whose adoptive black parents are determined that he become a leader in the black community. Moving from Ohio to Tennessee, from rural Kentucky to Harlem, his story depicts not only his conflicted relationship to his heritage but also the situation of a variety of black people struggling to escape prejudice and to take advantage of new opportunities. inventory #34910.…
