| Publisher Description: Bayou Folk, a collection of twenty-three short stories by Kate Chopin, including the well known "D sir e's Baby". D sir e, a beautiful young woman who grew up with foster parents, marries a successful plantation owner. But when their newborn child exhibits African American skin coloring, her husband claims D sir e's unknown parentage is to blame. But as D sir e wanders away we discover that her husband's racial identity is as ambiguous. "At the 'Cadian Ball," another well-known story in the collection, features the dashing Alc e Laballiere, Chopin's fictional portrayal of her own lover, Albert Sampite. Chopin is now considered by some to have been a forerunner of the feminist authors of the 20th century. |
