The folk flavor of her storytelling has earned her
constant comparison to Langston Hughes and Zora
Neale Hurston, but through four collections of
short stories and two novels, J. California Cooper
has proven that hers is a wholly original talent
—one that embraces readers in an ever-widening
circle from one book to the next. With In
Search Of Satisfaction, Cooper
gracefully portrays men and women, some good and others
wickedly twisted, caught in their individual
thickets of want and need. On a once-grand plantation
in Yoville, "a legal town-ship founded by the
very rich for their own personal use," a
freed slave named Josephus fathers two daughters,
Ruth and Yinyang, by two different women. His
desire, to give Yinyang and himself money and
opportunities, oozes through the family like an elixir,
melding with the equally strong yearnings of
Yoville's other residents, whose tastes don't
complement their neighbors'. What Josephus buries in his
life affects generations to come. J. California
Cooper's unfettered view of sin, forgiveness, and
redemption gives In Search Of
Satisfaction a singular richness that belies its
universal themes.
Cooper's second novel is an epic saga of three families whose paths intertwine with the devil in their quests for wealth, power and love. The history of the town is inextricably linked to Josephus, a freed slave, and his two dauthers, Ruth and Yinyang. In seeking the legacy left by their father, the sisters pull each other into the vortex of ever-powerful emotion.
