Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 October 2020
Extract
During the nine years of his writing career, rudolph fisher published two novels as well as fifteen short stories and won Crisis magazine's Amy Spingarn Prize for fiction. He also published two scientific articles and a much anthologized essay, while writing two plays, a revue (with Langston Hughes), and eight other stories unpublished in his time. Seven of the unpublished stories were collected after his death, but one simply disappeared. In May 1925 Fisher submitted his only copy of “The Shadow of White” to Survey Graphic at the invitation of its editor, Paul Kellogg, whom he had met at that year's Opportunity dinner. Thirteen months after the submission, Kellogg offered eighty dollars for the story and said he hoped to publish it in 1926–27. Yet the story never appeared.
