The Fiction of LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka

Résumé du livre

LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka is most famous for his Afrocentric plays and poetry, but he also published a novel and a book of short stories in the 1960s. This volume includes both of these long-out-of-print masterpieces, and supplements them with four previously uncollected stories and a previously unpublished novel entitled 6 Persons. Until his adoption of black nationalism, Jones was thought of as a beat writer, and his autobiographical fiction shares the self-consciousness and restlessness of Jack Kerouac and Hubert Selby.
