Such a sacrilege as a sale by auction, at all events, has never been heard of in connection with them. If they are disposed of it is by private contract, ' which is kept as dead a secret as the existence of the family spectre - of which there are, no doubt, many specimens in this locality. The mansions are all freehold. A ninety-nine years' lease would be looked upon in Gresham Street as evanescent an arrange ment as is taking lodgings by the week in Piccadilly.

Excerpt from Less Black Than We're Painted: A Novel I was speaking of your aunt, sir. Oh, indeed! She is generally called Miss Talbot, except by her near relatives. It would have been difficult, and evidently have given occasion for injurious remarks, had the curate attempted to explain to this young desperado the theory of spiritual relationship as taught by the Church; and, moreover, he was beginning to feel very uncomfortable from the fumes of an immense cigar which Master Rich ard had lit up. It would be improper to say that the good ecclesiastic felt angry, but he would have liked to have handed his companion over to the secular arm for summary chastisement. However, he did make one more effort at ecueil iation, as they passed by the refreshment-room at the station.

A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb. Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.
