"Black Barbecue" is a brutal short story about a hitchiker's adventures on the East Coast of Florida not long after World War II. The story was written by my father in Paris, France in the mid-1960s and was originally published in Number 22 (1966) of the London literary journal, Transatlantic Review. It was anthologized in Stories from the Transatlantic Review, ed. Joseph F. McCrindle, (Holt, Rinehart and Winstonⁱ and Gollancz, 1970; reprinted by Penguin, 1974) along with works by John Updike, Joyce Carol Oates, Paul Bowles, V.S. Pritchett and others.

ⁱ The link to the anthology does not mention the Holt, Rinehart and Winston imprint, but it is the only one I have ever seen, hence the discrepancy.
