Corregidora
Jones, Gayl. Beacon Press, 1975 (1st Ed. Thus). Softbound. Cover illustration by Wendell Minor. Cover design by Richard Emery. First published by Random House under the editorship of Toni Morrison (Morrison would later credit Jones and her concern with traumatic memory as being an influence on much of her own work), this novel, a study in obsessive hatred, is here reprinted as part of Beacon Press's Black Women Writers Series. Founded in Boston in 1854 as a Unitarian Universalist initiative, Beacon would later expand its mission to include seminal titles by James Baldwin, Herbert Marcuse, Cornell West, and this key modernist text by Jones.
Tight spine has the faintest of slumps and some cosmetic light creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. Foxing to the top and fore-edges. Light to moderate edge-wear. 185 pp. Fiction.
