A bold and haunting debut story collection that follows various characters as they navigate the day-to-day perils of Jim Crow racism from Diane Oliver, a missing figure in the canon of twentieth-century 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, Oliver's insightful stories reverberate into the present day.There's 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 As much a social and historical document as it is a taut, engrossing collection, Neighbors is an exceptional literary feat from a crucial once-lost figure of letters.

En ung kvinna tvingas av sina medborgarrättsivrande föräldrar att börja på ett nyligen integrerat college men flyttar där i stället in i garderoben. En annan ung kvinna gömmer pamfletter för sin mor och går på restaurang på fel våning i det fina varuhuset. Ett par ställs inför fördomarna mot utomäktenskaplig kärlek mellan svarta och vita. Och så den krypande titelnovellen som följer en nervös storasyster kvällen innan brodern ska upphäva segregationen på sin skola.Författaren Diane Oliver dog 1966, endast 22 år gammal. Vid sin bortgång lämnade hon efter sig dessa texter som rakt och till synes enkelt skildrar komplexa ämnen och som aldrig tidigare varit publicerade i bokform.

AS CELEBRATED ON BBC FRONT ROW'This breathtaking collection is a marvel.' Tayari Jones'Astute, brilliantly observed, timeless:' Jackie Kay'Her precocious and brilliant talent hasn't aged at all.' Damon Galgut'Exquisite ... These stories are all gems.' Mendez'You hold your breath, completely at her mercy.' Lucy CaldwellAnd she was becoming frightened too, looking at all those white faces pressed against the windowpanes.One Black family comes under attack as their little boy prepares to start at an all-white school.Friends plan a protest sit-in at the Rose Crest Tea Room, only to be arrested.The first Black student - always the 'Experiment' - retreats into her closet at a newly integrated college.And when a social worker enters a secluded woodland cabin, she meets the fate of all visitors . . .Tragically killed aged twenty-two in 1966, Diane Oliver's masterly stories resonate today with renewed urgency. Steeped in the nightmarish horror of life for the Black community in the Jim Crow-era American South, these chilling tales explore toxic racism and the human toll of activism for 'the cause' with heartbreaking empathy and wisdom. Depicting African American families whole and broken, daily injustices and life-threatening political struggle, Neighbors restores a lost star to the twentieth-century literary canon.
