The Apoplectic Palm Tree: or, the Happy Happening Among Blacks and Whites at the Greater Mount Moriah Solid Rock True Holiness Baptist Church and Funeral Parlor.
by William C. Anderson
New York: Crown Publishing (1969), 2nd printing (probably same year as the first printing); with 224 pages with cloth hard-cover binding. Finished size of book is 6 inches x 8
1/2
inches by 1
1/8
inch.
Though written by a white author, this is a sensitive and hilarious "romp" through Watts about a young white military officer deciding to helping his great black Air Force buddy realize his dream to build a movie theater in Watts; hilarity ensues through their interactions with "Two Ton Tessie" a buxom singer of bawdy songs (likely based on the fabulous black singer TV Mama who toured with James Brown in the mid to late 1960s); the Rev. Artemus Archibald pastor of the
Greater Mount Moriah Solid Rock True Holiness Baptist Church and Funeral Parlor; Air Force Colonel Cornelius Callahan (of the wealthy Cornelius Callahan Coffin "Dynasty"), and numerous other characters.
Though a tad "dated," this is great and respectable "fun."
NO OTHER COPY listed @ebay as of 4 May 2023
book is very near fine & tight, clean with only a small dog-ear at upper fore-corner of a single leaf; dust jacket is near very good & NOT price-clipped but has remains of old price label at upper rh corner. VERY GOOD overall
