The Resplendent Tales of Gordon Bellwood - Awesome Sauce is a comedy novelette from Sam Downes and Mark Gray. Gordon Bellwood is a gentleman of fine standing. He may not have the liquid assets his family once enjoyed, but he has something better at his disposal; the finest classical 18th century education and the privilege of absolute self confidence as he navigates the modern world. In Awesome Sauce, Bellwood regales us with his search for justice after being humiliated during a society dinner by what was supposed to be the finest of condiments. He faces the challenges of customer service, orienteering, delivery drivers and making good value for shareholders.
Martin R. Delany’s Blake (1859, 1861–1862) is one of the most important African American—and indeed American—works of fiction of the nineteenth century. It tells the story of Henry Blake’s escape from a southern plantation and his subsequent travels across the United States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba. His mission is to unite the black populations of the American Atlantic regions, both free and slave, in the struggle for freedom, whether through insurrection or through emigration and the creation of an independent black state. Blake is a rhetorical masterpiece, all the more strange and mysterious for remaining incomplete, breaking off before its final scene. This edition of Blake, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers the first correct printing of the work in book form. It establishes an accurate text, supplies contextual notes and commentaries, and presents an authoritative account of the work’s composition and publication history. In a lively introduction, McGann argues that Delany employs the resources of fiction to develop a critical account of the interconnected structure of racist power as it operated throughout the American Atlantic. He likens Blake to Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, in its willful determination to transform a living and terrible present. Blake; or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition will be used in undergraduate and graduate classes on the history of African American fiction, on the history of the American novel, and on black cultural studies. General readers will welcome as well the first reliable edition of Delany’s fiction.
