Book excerpt: Originally published in 1971, Miss Muriel and Other Stories draws together 13 remarkable stories of aspiration, frustration, love and prejudice in all guises. The tales center on a diverse cast of African-American characters - including a precocious 12-year-old girl, a nightclub musician in New York and a high-school English teacher. The stories capture everyday hardships and casual racism, fierce loyalties and sudden violence. Unflinchingly candid and uncannily perceptive, Miss Muriel and Other Stories here takes its place among the classics of modern literature.
