A stellar collection of works from more than fifty hot names in fiction, "Gumbo" represents remarkable synergy. Edited by bestselling luminaries Marita Golden and E.

  • Kenji Jasper
  • John Edgar Wideman
  • Terry McMillan
  • David Anthony Durham
  • Bertice Berry
…and many, many more Also featuring original stories by Golden and Harris themselves, "Gumbo" heralds the debut of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Awards for Published Black Writers (scheduled for October 2002), and all advances and royalties from the book will support the Hurston/Wright Foundation. Combining authors with a variety of flavorful writing, "Gumbo" will have readers clamoring for second helpings.
