Black Sadie
By T. Bowyer Campbell
Here is a first novel without a dull page. From first to last, it sets a fast pace, carrying the reader forward with the irresistible stir and beat of a night-club orchestra.
'Black Sadie' is a dusky imp who was borne in on the crest of the 'negro fad' just before the War. Gradually she learned to speak like the whites, forsake her low-born Southern friends for high-class Harlem 'yallers,' pose as a model, and dance at a famous night-club named in her honor.
Skin of soft ebony, eyes like coals, delicately poised head, she dominates this book as completely as she dominated the Black Sadie night-club. Her story is modern, elemental, compelling. The author, who was brought up on a Southern plantation, has flavored it with moments of humor and sharp irony. He has achieved an astounding tour de force which deserves to stand with the very best of the negro novels.
