Have you ever heard of a grapevine that could curse you? In The Goophered Grapevine, Charles W. Chesnutt tells a clever and spooky story set on a North Carolina vineyard after the Civil War.
A Northern man buys a plot of land and meets Uncle Julius, an old African American man who warns him that the grapevine is ‘goophered’ — cursed — and that anyone who eats its grapes might fall ill or worse.
Uncle Julius spins a tale of a man named Moses who dared to taste the grapes, only to face strange misfortunes. The story is suspenseful, eerie, and full of folklore — but here’s the twist: the ‘curse’ isn’t magic at all. It’s a clever trick by the Black workers to protect the grapes for themselves.
Through wit and storytelling, Chesnutt celebrates intelligence, resilience, and the subtle triumph of those who survived oppression. It’s spooky, funny, and empowering all at once — a true gem of 19th-century African American literature.
