Washington Cable (1844-1879) was a journalist turned novelist who set his
stories in his native New Orleans, especially the Creole community there.
Although he had served in the Confederate army, his novels showed strong
sympathy for the plight of African-Americans, and he wrote essays supporting
civil rights. His friend Mark Twain, with whom he shared a lecture tour,
called him "the South's finest literary genius" andpraised Cable
as a writer and as the person with whom to tour New Orleans. His realistic
portrayals of southern life, as influenced by its history, foreshadow twentieth
century authors like William Faulkner. Lightly soiled and toned. Adhesive
residue (previous mounting) on verso. Otherwise, fine
condition.
