McMillan, Terry (Editor) Breaking Ice: An Anthology of Contemporary African-American Fiction
Penguin USA 1990 0140116974 / 9780140116977 Trade Paperback Very Good No Jacket
Very-nice copy of this 693 page-book - ONLY writing/mark is a gift inscription in book front - NO tears - Tight spine - This hefty collection of short stories and excerpts from novels by what McMillan ( Disappearing Acts ) terms ``a new generation of African-American writers'' answers an anthology's highest call: it tantalizes. However briefly, each voice here sparkles. Amiri Baraka's ``Mondongo,'' a tale of a bookish Air Force doctor out for a night on the town in a Puerto Rican village, is a tour de force--making brilliant use of an oppressive, sad, but witty military vernacular. Nathaniel Mackey's ``Djbot Baghostus' Run,'' wherein members of a jazz band all dream the same dream and recite parts of it to each other, is a foot-tapping linguistic jam session. Misthis is correct/pk Hazel, the protagonist in Toni Cade Bambara's story ``My Man Bovanne,'' is an older but by no means wiser woman--``the hussy my daughter always say I was''--whose delight in sex and gossip sends her private rantings into the realm of pure rhythm. These tales mix politics and pleasure in the best of ways, using good storytelling to transmit their messages. Colleen McElroy (``Sister Detroit''), for example, views one Detroit woman's obsession with her husband's automobile as a metaphor for the effects of racism and the Vietnam War.

McMillan, Terry The Interruption of Everything
New York, New York, U.S.A. Viking Penguin 2004 0670031445 / 9780670031443 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new copy - Appears unread - Price inside dustcover: $25.95 - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - Tight spine - bright pages - NO remainder marks or price clippings - NO writing, marks or tears. - To say that 45-year-old Marilyn Grimes is suffering from a midlife crisis is to understate. Her three children have left the nest; her boring engineer husband, Leon, is in career crisis and apparently philandering; her mother may be developing Alzheimer's; and Marilyn herself is searching for new frontiers or a place to leap. By turns, hilarious and heartbreaking; Terry McMillan in vintage form.
