Abstract |

|
|
$a"The return to print of a classic novel of postwar American literature credited with being the most accurate fictional portrayal of the promises and bitter disappointments that heralded the expatriation of Black intellectuals and artists. The protagonist of John Williams's angry and brilliant novel The Man Who Cried I Am is Max Reddick, a Black American writer- a gifted novelist, a journalist, and a presidential speechwriter- who has spent his career fighting against the racism of white elites and the blacks who have copied their liberal positions. Now terminally ill, Reddick has nothing to lose. The novel takes place in a single day in May 1964 in Amsterdam and Leiden but through Max's reflections charts his journey through the 1940s and 50s, from New York to his expatriation in Paris, Amsterdam, and Africa, as he considers who he was, who he has become, and who he might yet be." --Provided by publisher. |
