<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In 1984, an extraordinary first collection of short stories written by award-winning playwright J. California Cooper was published to much acclaim. Now back in print, A Piece of Mine remains one of her most loved books. "Cooper's characters are the folk heroes of Black culture . . ".--Essence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The extraordinary debut short story collection from the award-winning author of <i>Family </i>and <i>Life is Short But Wide. </i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In its strong folk flavor, Cooper's work reminds us of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston...It is a delight to read.<br>--Alice Walker <p/>The label 'short' story is a woefully inadequate description of these intensely, explicitly moral tales. 'Parable' is more appropriate. Cooper's stories are rich in wisdom and insight.<br><i>--Belles Lettres</i> <p/>J. California Cooper is indeed an extraordinary writer...She has the rare quality of a natural storyteller, and her work must carry the highest recommendation. Definitely a book that's worth reading.<br><i>--African Concord</i> (Zimbabwe)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>J. California Cooper is the author of four novels and six collections of stories.
