Download or read book Ol' Man Adam written by Ruth Finnegan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wonderful retelling of and new insight ino the familiar biblical tales in wonderfully rich and telling language (a delight in itself), written by the nineteenth-century American author Roark Bradford. For a while devalued due to its supposedly demeaning and patronising use of 'blackie' speech, it is now recognised as a serious contribution to American literature. As later adapted by Marc Connelly it forms the original text for the successful ( but in some views less robust) play Green Pastures.
