Plum Bun: A Novel Without a Moral
An engrossing novel of women's lives and experiences. . . . Jessie Redmon Fauset uses Angela's development as the springboard to explore larger issues that have become regarded as central to black women's fiction: the experience of passing, the exploitation of women as sexual objects and thus a questioning of heterosexual relationships, the assertion of racial pride, and the primacy of female bonding. --Mary Katherine Wainwright,Belles Lettres"A fascinating glimpse of a now-vanished Harlem culture." --Rosalind Warren,New Directions for Women"A reminder of how entertaining good writing can be." --Ernest R. Mercer,East St. Louis Monitor
