Ernest Gaines's career was exceptional and enduring. Still, too few readers today this superior black talent as they should. That, though, is sure to change. Thanks to Keith Clark's definitive study, the late Louisiana author has a long afterlife ahead. No one I know has worked as assiduously or as honorably as Clark to keep our attention on Gaines over the decades. For students and scholars of Gaines or the black tradition, Navigating the Fiction of Ernest J. Gaines is essential reading. Clark's knowledge isn't only intimate; it is inspired.--Maurice Wallace, author of Constructing the Black Masculine: Identity and Ideality in African American Men's Literature and Culture, 1775-1995
