A bold and haunting debut story collection that follows various characters as they navigate the daytoday perils of Jim Crow racism from Diane Oliver, a missing figure in the canon of twentiethcentury African American literature, with an introduction by Tayari JonesA remarkable talent far ahead of her time, Diane Oliver died in 1966 at the age of 22, leaving behind these crisply told and often chilling tales that explore race and racism in 1950s and 60s America. In this first and only collection by a masterful storyteller finally taking her rightful place in the canon, Olivers insightful stories reverberate into the present day.Theres the nightmarish The Closet on the Top Floor in which Winifred, the first Black student at her newly integrated college, starts to physically disappear; Mint Juleps not Served Here where a couple living deep in a forest with their son go to bloody lengths to protect him; Spiders Cry without Tears, in which a couple, Meg and Walt, are confronted by prejudices and strains of interracial and extramarital love; and the high tension titular story that follows a nervous older sister the night before her little brother is set to desegregate his school.These are incisive and intimate portraits of African American families in everyday moments of anxiety and crisis that look at how they use agency to navigate their predicaments. As much a social and historical document as it is a taut, engrossing collection, Neighbors is an exceptional literary feat from a crucial oncelost figure of letters.
