More E. K. Means Is This a Title? It Is Not. It Is the Name of a Writer of Negro Stories, Who Has Made Himself So Completely the Writer of Negro Stories That This Second Book, Like the First, Needs No Title

"More E. K. Means" by E. K. Means is a compilation of amusing tales focusing on African American experiences, probably set in the early 1900s. The writing displays the author's deep interest in the cultural details and characters of Black communities in the South, highlighting their lively traits and funny views on living, mainly through strange and exaggerated portrayals. At the start, we meet a remarkable character named Diada, presented in a comically odd way, who was saved by Captain Lemuel Manse from a tribe of cannibals. The first scenes create a mix of comedy and shock as her presence amazes the local people, exposing their biases and false ideas. Diada's dealings with the townspeople and her awkward integration into their lives lead to funny misunderstandings and social observations, as she seems like a stranger in their normal world, all the while showing off her unusual ways. The beginning parts generally work to solidify the lighthearted feeling and the cultural environment of Means' stories.
