"A richness of language and observation pervades this collection of short stories by a black writer about real black people." --New York Times Book Review

Moving from Bullins's childhood in the Philadelphia slums to his incarnation as an artistic wanderer in Europe, then back to America as an officer in the Black Panther Party to resting finally in New York as resident playwright of a vibrant theater in Harlem--The New Lafayette Theatre--The Hungered One gives us a glimpse into the fascinating life and times of one of this country's most-celebrated African American dramatists.

These early writings explore loneliness and despair in beautifully crafted stories, and also give us an indication from whence Bullins comes and a hint at where he would like to go. They are all important because they are a testament to the creative beginnings of a groundbreaking and historically significant writer.
