Imitation of Life

"This new edition of an influential American classic-one of the first books in twentieth-century popular literature to grapple with issues of gender and race-is reason enough to celebrate, but Daniel Itzkovitz's splendid and insightful introduction reclaims for Fannie Hurst a preeminent position as an essential American literary figure whose work matters today more than ever. "-Michael Bronski, author of "The Pleasure Principle: Sex, Backlash, and the Struggle for Gay Freedom"
