Mean Molly
An African Folk Tale of the Deep
South
by Carolyn Nur Wistrand
When Watah Mocasin goes fishing in a slave burial ground,
the spirit of Mean Molly, a young West African woman that died in
Massah George’s smokehouse, is unleashed upon the newly freed men
and women in the low country of South Carolina during the first year of
Reconstruction. Guided by the Ijebu warrior, Obonto, the people work
collectively to return her trust to the Ancestor House.
“Mean Molly combines good writing, wonderful characters,
conflict, tension, and purpose. Each character has his or her own
voice. The story is fresh and invigorating. We pay attention to them.
They represent a wonderful cross section of a culture as they move toward
their own salvation.” –Leslie Lee, Obie winning, Tony nominated playwright,
professor of dramatic writing, NYU & Goddard College, Vermont.
