This is the first full-length study of the black novelist Chester Himes. His stark racial fiction and his series of black-detective novels are the expression of his terrifying vision of an America made mad by its racist obsession. Himes's body hard-bitten fiction attests to the reality of being black in the United States. Writing a taut upbeat prose, Himes has emerged as a master stylist, to be most admired for his ability coolly to achieve an effectiive union of social protest and art. Library Journal assesses this new volume as “an honest reeevaluation of Himes's underestimated position in modern American letters . . . [that] does a real service for black literature in America." It was in the 1950s, with the creation of Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, that Himes established himself an innovator in detective fiction. Two black detectives covering an inner city take on mythic dimensions as they guide the reader through a place at once Harlem, hell, and the nightmare center of White America. źródło opisu: Frederic Ungar, 1976 źródło okładki: Amazon.com
