<\/a><\/p>\n

Named one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of the Year, and named\u00a0one of the most anticipated books of the fall by the Huffington Post<\/em>, New York<\/em>, The Boston Globe<\/em>, Lit Hub<\/em>, The Millions<\/em>, and Nylon.com<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now available in Ecco\u2019s Art of the Story series: a never-before-published collection of stories from a brilliant yet little known African American artist and filmmaker\u2014a contemporary of revered writers including Toni Cade Bambara<\/a>, Laurie Colwin<\/a>, Ann Beattie<\/a>, Amy Hempel<\/a>, and Grace Paley<\/a>\u2014whose prescient work has recently resurfaced to wide acclaim.<\/p>\n

Humorous, poignant, perceptive, and full of grace, Kathleen Collins\u2019s stories masterfully blend the quotidian and the profound in a personal, intimate way, exploring deep, far-reaching issues\u2014race, gender, family, and sexuality\u2014that shape the ordinary moments in our lives.<\/p>\n

In \u201cThe Uncle,\u201d a young girl who idolizes her handsome uncle and his beautiful wife makes a haunting discovery about their lives. In \u201cOnly Once,\u201d a woman reminisces about her charming daredevil of a lover and his ultimate\u2014and final\u2014act of foolishness. Collins\u2019s work seamlessly integrates the African-American experience in her characters\u2019 lives, creating rich, devastatingly familiar, full-bodied men, women, and children who transcend the symbolic, penetrating both the reader\u2019s head and heart.<\/p>\n

Both contemporary and timeless, Whatever Happened to Interracial Love?<\/em> is a major addition to the literary canon, and is sure to earn Kathleen Collins the widespread recognition she is long overdue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
