Vividly rendering the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations of a
bygone rural south, these closely connected stories revolve around
the sometimes tragic lives of a black farming couple, Killdee and
Rose Pinesett. When it first appeared in the 1920s, Green
Thursday's unsentimental portrayal of African Americans was
startlingly ahead of its time - enough so to inspire hate mail from
white Southerners accusing the author, herself white, of betraying
her race. At the same time, however, Green Thursday was praised by
reviewers and social observers from all quarters, including W. E.
B. Du Bois, who called it "a beautiful book".
