Reviews for All Aunt Hagar's Children
105 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I generally much prefer novels to short stories but I enjoyed this collection. Set in Washington DC, it examines the lives of African Americans who are transplants from another time and place. All grew up in rural, southern communities and most still have family there. What I found interesting was the way the culture and social mores of the country adapted to the lives of those living in the city.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I did not understand this. I was looking forward to reading his short stories but this was just a Qand A with the author. Is there z audio book with his short stories. This was interesting but I would like to read his stories.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The author the interview was based on his book’s great review. Great questions love his writing and his characters in the stories . Great voice
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I purchased this book at a United Way Bookfair [Feb '07 Black History Month]. I had not read any of Edward P. Jones work and decided that this book had to be a great read because the author was a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Subsequently, I was not all disappointed. This collection of short stories is very real and heart touching. I think it gives readers an inside look at working class black folks with hopes, dreams, and struggles...just like any other American. My favorite story was "Bad Neighbors". We all can relate to neighbors who are deemed no class or others who simply think they're too good for the community, but cannot afford to move elsewhere. Classic stereotypes are addressed and real feelings of the characters, emerge from the pages. It's a book I'd read again and again. I also purchased the known world after reading this.
