About the Book

La lotta per la ricerca dell'amore, dell'autostima, dell'integrazione. È questo il filo conduttore che lega i quattordici racconti che danno vita alla raccolta Gesù e Martedì Grasso. Profondamente radicati nella realtà afroamericana a cui la scrittrice appartiene, i quattordici racconti della collezione abbracciano un arco temporale di cento anni, dal 1882 (nel primo racconto Cressy Pruitt, la protagonista, ha quindici anni e nasce due anni dopo la Guerra Civile americana) al 1987, anno in cui l'opera fu data alla stampa. L'ambientazione dei racconti varia sia dal punto di vista temporale (si narra del famoso fuorilegge Cole Younger, della rivoluzione islamica, della guerra civile, della guerra in Vietnam raccontata dal punto di vista delle vittime rimaste a casa, dei neonati movimenti femministi del 1960 e così via) che spaziale (viene raccontata la vita in città come quella in campagna). I protagonisti di Colleen McElroy sono tutti neri; contadini, donne di chiesa, pianisti da taverna, inservienti, prostitute, bambini, infermieri, pie donne islamiche. Tutti insieme offrono al lettore uno spaccato originale della vita americana e della cultura afroamericana in particolare. Ogni personaggio, bambino o adulto, uomo o donna, viene descritto nella sua intimità di pensiero, nella sua lotta contro le limitazioni di opportunità dovute alla sua condizione. Ciascuno vivrà la sua esperienza fino in fondo cercando, ma non sempre riuscendoci, a riscattarsi.
About the Author: COLLEEN J. MCELROY, scrittrice e folclorista, è nata nel 1935 a St. Louis, Missouri. Ha conseguito la laurea magistrale alla Kansas State University e un dottorato di ricerca alla University of Washington.

Caporedattore di the Seattle Review dal 1995 al 2006, McElroy ha pubblicato nove collezioni di poesie, tra le più recenti: Sleeping with the Moon (2007), per la quale ha ricevuto il PEN/Oakland National Literary Award nel 2008, e Here I Throw Down My Heart, (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2012), finalista per il Binghampton University Milt Kessler Book Award, e vincitrice del Walt Whitman Award, il Phyllis Wheatley Award, e il Washington State Governor's Book Award. La prossima collezione di poesie dal titolo Blood Memories verrà pubblicata dalla University of Pittsburgh Press nel 2016. Vincitrice del "Before Columbus American Book Award in poetry" nel1985 con Queen of the Ebony Isles, la scrittrice e poetessa ha anche ricevuto due Fulbright Fellowships, due NEA Fellowships, un Jesse Ball DuPont Distinguished Black Scholar Fellowship, e un Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship.
