About the author

Charles W. (Charles Waddell) Chesnutt

1858–1932

A pioneering American writer, essayist, and lawyer, he brought the moral and emotional complexity of race in post-Civil War America into fiction with unusual clarity. His stories and novels still feel sharp because they look past easy labels and into the difficult choices people make across the color line.
