In this wholly original novel Jean Toomer highlights issues of class and caste in a three-part pastiche of poems, vignettes, and play-like stories. The audacious, non-traditional structure of the book reflects the prismatic nature of the material itself. Toomer's close observations during a stint as school principal in Sparta, Georgia, primarily informed what Houston A. Baker, Jr. calls a \"mysterious brand of Southern psychological realism that has been matched only in the best work of William Faulkner.\" This edition includes Jean Toomer's essay, \u003cem\u003eThe Crock of Problems, \u003c\/em\u003e in which the author discusses race in America and his own diverse ethnic heritage, and an extensive biographical note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42136174461063,"sku":"9781954525146","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/114ad9dd4fc6167ff78b623a8c30af0d.webp?v=1732658507","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/cane-warbler-classics-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
