Abstract
It is argued that Lisa Jones9 work, comprised mainly of humorous essays and sketches originally published in New York papers, is in its own way worth more than the writings of some better known Black American authors. Her style is compared to that of other writers, and her influence on topics such as interracial marriage is noted.
