Literary Fiction Friendship Fiction Coming of Age

William Demby

Authors: William Demby
Print type: BOOK

Description:

First published in 1950, Beetlecreek stands as a moving condemnation of provincialism and fundamentalism. Both a critique of racial hypocrisy and a new direction for the African American novel, it occupies fresh territory that is neither the ghetto realism of Richard Wright nor the ironic modernism of Ralph Ellison.
