The listing, All of Aunt Hagar's Children Edward P Jones New Book has ended.
a collection of short stories by African-American author Edward P. Jones; it was his first book after winning the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for The Known World. The collection of 14 stories centers around African-Americans in Washington D.C. during the 20th century. The stories can be broken down by how the characters suffer burdens from families, society, and themselves. "Each story traces a journey--planned or unplanned, taken or failed--and an obvious root/route symbolism runs throughout the collection."Jones is noted for writing long short stories and these are no exception, they are sometimes called "novelistic", characters are fully fleshed out
