<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The sequel to Langston Hughes's 1967 classic anthology <i>The Best Short Stories by Black Writers</i>, Gloria Naylor's <i>Children of the Night </i>is a "brilliant collection" of short stories by black writers including Maya Angelou, Ralph Ellison, and Edward P. Jones (<i>Booklist</i>). </b><br /><br />In 1969, Langston Hughes edited <i>The Best Short Stories by Black Writers, </i> the classic compendium of African-American short fiction from 1899 to 1967. A quarter of a century later, Gloria Naylor compiled an encore volume, <i>Children of the Night</i>, gathering together the most gifted black writers of the later twentieth century -- from 1967 to its publication in 1997 -- in a rich and varied collection of stories.<br /><br />The portrait that emerges of the African-American experience in the post-Civil Rights era is stirring, compelling, sometimes disturbing, and certainly provocative. Arranged in in four thematic section -- "Remembering," "Affirming," "Revealing the Self Divided," and "Moving On" -- the thirty-seven stories included brilliantly capture the many facets of the black experience in America.
