About This Item
Coach House Press, 1994. First Edition, Ex-Library. Trade Paperback. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! FIRST EDITION. NO SPINE CREASES & MILD WEAR ON LAMINATED COVER. LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, A FEW LIBRARY STAMPS, NO MARKS IN TEXT. Description: Seven years have gone by and three novels have appeared since the publication of "How To Make Love To a Negro" catapulted Dany Laferriere to instant celebrity. Now Laferriere returns to the arena of "How To Make Love To a Negro" in this searing, often hilarious look at the great Whore of America: Success. Is it possible to be a writer when women stop you on the street and make you justify the title of your first book? What happens to a serious young black writer when his media persona takes over? Sex, race, fame and class: Laferriere covers all the bases. At the same time, he explores black culture, never afraid to take on black icons-Spike Lee, Miles Davis, Magic Johnson, Toni Morrison - and stand them on their heads. Fiercely independent, piercing, insolent, and always well informed: no wonder he's been compared to James Baldwin and Charles Bukowski.
