Tom Chaney: The First Black Novel (More than Likely) Of Writers And Their Books: The First Black Novel (More than Likely). Tom discusses William Wells Brown who took the story of the Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemings story down one generation and penned a reasonably good novel, Clotel, or the President's Daughter: A Narrative of Slave Life in the United States.

'Twas a very good school in which to teach English in those days, and I took three hitches at it between the summer of 1964 and the spring of 1970 when I left for Iowa.
