In einer Anthologie las ich "Jean-ah Poquelin" von George Washington Cable und war begeistert. Eine lokal gefärbte Sprache, ansprechender Sprachstil, der gelegentlich fordert und eine gekonnte Pointe; was will man mehr? Sofort besorgte ich mir die Storysammlung Old Creole Days, erstmal 1879 erschienen, die neben jener sieben weitere Geschichten enthält.

While their handling of subject matter is questionable, the importance of Cable, Harris, and Page rests in their participation in the “local color movement” that dominated American fiction from the Civil War to the turn of the century. It was local color, delighting in the picturesque and romantic, that popularized the short story and helped establish it as a distinct form.
