In "Only Once," a woman reminisces about her charming daredevil of a lover and his ultimate--and final--act of foolishness. Collins's work seamlessly integrates the African-American experience in her characters' lives, creating rich, devastatingly familiar, full-bodied men, women, and children who transcend the symbolic, penetrating both the reader's head and heart.Both contemporary and timeless, Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? is a major addition to the literary canon, and is sure to earn Kathleen Collins the widespread recognition she is long overdue.Whatever Happened to Interracial Love?FictionLiterature And Fiction813/.54Collins Kathleen1961-1436403Collins Nina LorezothBoothe CheriseothOjo AdenreleothParker Paula J.othTerry DeseanothWoren DanothAUDIO9910149577203321Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? : Stories3595080UNINA
