Two by George C. Wolfe: The Colored Museum & Spunk: Three Tales by Zora Neale Hurston
Published by The Fireside Theatre (c.1991), Garden City NY, 1991
Seller: ReadInk, ABAA/IOBA, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. Book Club Edition. [nice clean copy, no discernible wear to book; jacket has just a touch of wear at top of spine, rear panel has a small rubbed spot plus a tiny closed tear and associated crease at bottom left corner]. (B&W photographs) A pair of plays in which the playwright "celebrates African-American culture in all its glory while he gleefully exposes its contradictions." "The Colored Museum" riffs on black stereotypes through the presentation of eleven "exhibits." "Spunk" sets Hurston's stories to blues rhythms, creating "a rich folk tapestry of African-American rural life and urban life earlier in [the 20th] century." Accompanying the text of the latter play are both the music and lyrics for its songs. An uncommon edition, apparently issued exclusively by the Fireside Theatre Book Club, with no corresponding trade edition. (Or, to put it another way: not sold in stores!).
