Though he’s recently been promoted to supervisor, he is disrespected and resented by white colleagues; and despite his relationship with the high-class Alice, he is crudely baited by the manipulative Madge. Over the course of four fraught days in Los Angeles, he is plagued with increasingly violent urges as the bigotry and cruelty he faces day-in-day-out become unbearable. Chester Himes’s shattering debut is a masterful reckoning with the poisonous effects of racism, and a monumental protest novel.‘A relentless, gripping, classic novel, one of the most powerful exposés of what it is like to be black in America’ LA TimesLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 200gAuthor: Chester HimesGenre: FictionTopic: Crime Thrillers & MysteryRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
