Echo Tree: The Collected Short Fiction of Henry Dumas by Henry Dumas

5.0

This has been the most complete picture of afro-surrealist literature I've read ever. All of the stories embody some quality of Afro-surrealist movement or the other. Henry Dumas was one of the most influential American authors, albeit not as well recognized. Please read his short stories or poems if you haven't. They have been ever-relevant to the racial climate in the US, but a conscious rediscovery of works by the likes of Dumas right now would enlighten and fit the our current times.
