1925. This classic tale was Heyward's first novel and was an
immediate success. The story is set on the waterfront of Old
Charleston where stands Catfish Row, a venerable Negro tenement
whose courtyard swarms with Southern Negro life. There lived Porgy,
a black cripple and a beggar, who all day long sat in the sunshine
of Charleston's streets and at night joined the wild crap games of
the Negro longshoremen in the courtyard. One sultry night the game
broke up in a tragic fight and young Croun, a powerful fellow had
to flee to the swamps. His girl, Bess, remained behind, and as time
went on she brought love and happiness for the first time into
Porgy's life.
