520 1 $a"Of mixed Greek and Irish parentage, raised under unhappy circumstances in Ireland, England, and France, Lafeadio Hearn came to America in 1869 as a young man forced to fend for himself. Over the next two decades he emerged as a writer of diverse and exotic interests, a unique chronicler of the African-American cultures of New Orleans, Cincinati, and Caribbean in such works as China, Yonma, and Two Years in the French West Indies. He blended a richly poetic prose style with sharp and unrelenting eye for the details of social life and the textures of the natural world. This volume reveals the full range of this fascinating figure."--BOOK JACKET.
