A History of the African American Novel offers an in-depth overview of the development of the novel and its major genres. In the first part of this book, Valerie Babb examines the evolution of the novel from the 1850s to the present, showing how the concept of black identity has transformed along with the art form. The second part of this History explores the prominent genres of African American novels, such as neoslave narratives, detective fiction, and speculative fiction, and considers how each one reflects changing understandings of blackness. This book builds on other literary histories by including early black print culture, African American graphic novels, pulp fiction, and the history of adaptation of black novels to film. By placing novels in conversation with other documents - early black newspapers and magazines, film, and authorial correspondence - A History of the African American Novel brings many voices to the table to broaden interpretations of the novel's development.

This book was written about my involvement and hustle in the streets while living in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The title came from the street slang “jug,” pronounced ju-ug, which could represent the meaning of a drug deal, a play, or street transaction. This urban novel is based off a true story, which puts in a category of nonfiction and has brought a different style of novel to the readers who like urban novels. I call the style of my book an urbanography. While writing about my hustle and experience, I share with the reader the need to do something different in my life instead of throwing it away—the need to be something better than what we’ve been doing. This book, The Last Juug, is quite adventurous, and needless to say, it’s very interesting and never boring. It is definitely a page-turner and a good read. I want to give special thanks to my mother, Dr. Elva Williams, Kimberly Walker, Michael Wilson Sr., Frank and Judy Henry, Gregory Hilderbrand, and my friend Charles Barksdale, and I cannot forget Dallas Sprull, who motivated and encouraged me to continue to write. I also want to thank my publisher and the whole team who had been a part of publishing my book. You too, Daryl Williams, a.k.a. Big Sug. You all believed in me and have supported me in some capacity. I thank the good Lord above because he is the only reason how and why I made it through. Never give up!

In this exciting graphic novel about stepping out of your comfort zone, a traveler finds himself lost in Taiwan with no way of finding his brother—but he soon learns that this forced disconnect is helping him explore and experience the big wide world around him. THIS WASN’T PAUL’S IDEA. The last thing he’s interested in is exploring new countries or experiencing anything that might be described as “cultural enrichment.” But like it or not, he’s stuck with his brother, Theo, for two weeks in Taiwan, a place that—while fascinating to Theo—holds no interest to Paul at all. While on a short trip to a local electronics store, Paul becomes hopelessly lost in Taiwan’s twisting, narrow streets, and he has no choice but to explore this new environment in his quest to find his way back to Theo’s apartment. In an unfamiliar place with no friends—and no GPS!—there’s no telling what adventures he could happen upon. And who knows? Maybe it turns out he has friends in Taiwan, after all.
