WHATEVER HAPPENED TO INTERRACIAL LOVE - KATHLEE...

A collection of stories from a brilliant yet little known African American artist and
filmmaker-a contemporary of revered writers including Toni Cade Bambara  Laurie Colwin  Ann
Beattie  Amy Hempel  and Grace Paley-whose prescient work has recently resurfaced to wide
acclaim  now available as a Harper Perennial Olive Edition. Humorous  poignant  perceptive  and
full of grace  Kathleen Collins's stories masterfully blend the quotidian and the profound in a
personal  intimate way  exploring deep  far-reaching issues-race  gender  family  and
sexuality-that shape the ordinary moments in our lives. In The Uncle  a young girl who idolizes
her handsome uncle and his beautiful wife makes a haunting discovery about their lives. In Only
Once  a woman reminisces about her charming daredevil of a lover and his ultimate-and final-act
of foolishness. Collins's work seamlessly integrates the African-American experience in her
characters' lives  creating rich  devastatingly familiar  full-bodied men  women  and children
who transcend the symbolic  penetrating both the reader's head and heart. Both contemporary and
timeless  Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? is a major addition to the literary canon  and
is sure to earn Kathleen Collins the widespread recognition she is long overdue. This book is
part of a special series from Harper Perennial called Olive Editions-exclusive small-format
editions of some of our bestselling and celebrated titles  featuring beautiful and unique
hand-drawn cover illustrations. All Olive Editions are available for a limited time only.
