Editorial Reviews

The Short Stories of Frank Yerby is an important collection, specifically at this historical moment. Yerby's legacy was far reaching, and the stories contained within this collection--dealing with everything from the social construction of race, the rise of xenophobia, the demythologizing of the Old South, and the social construction of gender--have continued resonance.--Matthew Teutsch, editor of Rediscovering Frank Yerby: Critical Essays
