Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in the vibrant Harlem of the 1920s, this novel serves as a satire that critiques prominent literary figures and the complex dynamics within the African American community. Through the lens of "Niggeratti Manor," it humorously addresses the relationships between Negro authors and their white patrons while exploring social class tensions. The narrative reflects Thurman's own experiences, offering insights that resonate with later themes in the works of James Baldwin and E. Lynn Harris. The prose is noted for its elegance and wit, capturing a significant era in African American literature.
