reviewed Tales of conjure and the color line on May 10, 2007 Tales of conjure and the color line
A lost writer from a hundred years ago, Chesnutt is best in these stories that bridge the generations before and after slavery, with characters who want to forget the past but cannot. The theme of passing and dissembling applies beyond the surface meaning of whiteness and blackness to the very idea of how we operate as social creatures in the world. These stories also deeply question the romantic vogue for plantation stories in the 1880s and 1890s, led by the Uncle Remus stories of Joel Chandler Harris. Along with =The Marrow of Tradition,= this collection shows that Chesnutt ought to be granted a far larger audience than he has. "The Passing of Grandison" and "Dave's Neckliss" stand out. "Baxter's Procrustes" is a protopostmodern story about what and how we read.
