Soul Clap Hands and Sing

"Each of these stories is a story of marginality, a story of the paint of the immigrant, the returned immigrant, the upwardly-mobile individual who has forfeited his place in a society which is rapidly changing. Each is critical of, yet at the same time sympathetic to, the plight of these old men for whom soul has long since ceased to sing....There is no character in these stories without blame, who is not completely human and responsible. This fact, and the fact that her sympathies are divided between the old men and the characters through whom they receive their visions, indicate that she understands and shares something of their marginality."Marshall, Paule is the author of 'Soul Clap Hands and Sing' with ISBN 9780882581552 and ISBN 0882581554.
