Reader Reviews
Editors Marita Golden and E Lynn Harris introduce us to a concoction of witty, soulful, provincial, urban, thrilling, and stunning works by some of the most talented African American authors on the planet. Pronounced a literary rent party benefiting the Hurston-Wright Foundation, Gumbo is divided into 4 sections spanning everything from the "Family Tree" to a "Love Jones". Numerous affecting short stories and excerpts contribute to this amazingly filling collection. Witty stories like Yolanda Joe's Miss Prissy and the Penitentiary and Harris' Dinner Party modulate the emotions invoked by pieces such as David Anthony Durham's "The Boy-Fish" and acclaimed horror author Tananarive Due's "The Knowing", my personal favorite. Other notables include J. California Cooper's "$100 and Nothing", Tayari Jones' "Press and Curl", Faith Adiele's "Fire: An Original Tale", Elizabeth Nunez's excerpt "from Discretion", and Alexs Pate's "To Haiti or To Hell." There is truly something for everyone in this abounding congregation of African American authors coming together for a cause. ~Reviewed by CandaceK
