Beschreibung

Octavo, red boards and maroon cloth lettered in gilt; unclipped dust jacket. First edition. A presentation copy, inscribed: "Louise Meriwether, Joy! Maya Angelou, 4/17/14," on the half-title page ---- Acclaimed author and tireless activist, Louise Meriwether earned a permanent place among literati whose writings reassess the African American experience. Her most enduring novels like "Daddy Was a Number Runner" (with a foreword by James Baldwin) drew high praise from her intimate friend of four decades, Maya Angelou. Meriwether contributed dust jacket blurbs for several of Angelou's works and was a dedicatee of her "The Heart of a Woman." Shortly after Angelou's death in May 2014, Meriwether recalled, "I had told her a little while ago, I said, 'Maya, you know one thing. You gonna die with your boots on,' and she said, 'Yeah, because I never take them off.'" A significant presentation copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-14494274036
