Requests:  1 Summary:  "A bold and haunting debut story collection that follows various characters as they navigate the day-to-day perils of Jim Crow racism from Diane Oliver, a missing figure in the canon of twentieth-century African American literature. A remarkable talent far ahead of her time, Diane Oliver died in 1966 at the age of twenty-two, leaving behind these crisply told and often chilling tales that explore race and racism in 1950s and '60s America. In this first and only collection by a masterful storyteller finally taking her rightful place in the canon, Oliver's insightful stories reverberate into the present day. There's the nightmarish "The Closet on the Top Floor" in which Winifred, the first Black student at her newly integrated college, starts to physically disappear; "Mint Juleps Not Served Here" where a couple living deep in a forest with their son go to bloody lengths to protect him; "Spiders Cry Without Tears," in which a couple, Meg and Walt, are confronted by prejudices of interracial and extramarital love; and the titular story that follows a nervous older sister the night before her brother is set to desegregate his school. These are incisive and intimate portraits of African American families in everyday moments of anxiety and crisis that look at how they use agency to navigate their predicaments. As much a social and historical document as it is a taut, engrossing collection, Neighbors is an exceptional literary feat from a crucial once-lost figure of letters"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books Oliver Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Oliver Shelving Cart   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Oliver Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Oliver Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Oliver Checked out 05/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Oliver Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList
