    About Gorilla, My Love

    In these fifteen superb stories, this essential author of African American fiction gives us compelling portraits of a wide range of unforgettable characters, from sassy children to cunning old men, in scenes shifting between uptown New York and rural North Carolina. A young girl suffers her first betrayal. A widow flirts with an elderly blind man against the wishes of her grown-up children. A neighborhood loan shark teaches a white social worker a lesson in responsibility. And there is more. Sharing the world of Toni Cade Bambara’s “straight-up fiction” is a stunning experience.

    “Ms. Bambara grabs you by the throat…she dazzles, she charms.” —Chicago Daily News

    “Among the best portraits of black life to have appeared in some time.” — Saturday Review


    “Bambara presents situations that build like improvisations on a melody….As drawn with spirit and subtlety. [Her characters] are-even in their defeats-a pleasure to watch.”

    — Newsweek
