Family by J California Cooper
Much has been written about the institution of slavery. But with Family, Cooper has taken the slave narrative and recreated it as an epic, yet collo quial, poem. Mesmerizing . . . Cooper weaves four wry, humorous, tragic tales that envelop and transcend time, offering hope and renewal at the same time they chronicle desolation and death.--San Francisco Chronicle.J. California Cooper is the author of five collections of short stories, including Homemade Love, which won the 1989 American Book Award, and Some Love, Some Pain, Someday. She is also the author of fifteen plays and has been recognized as Black Playwright of the Year (1978), the James Baldwin Writing Prize (1988), and the American Librarby Association's Literary Lion Award (1988).
