SUMMARY

"[T]he biography possesses narrative dash and lots of personal enthusiasm.... [T]hese lively, jazzy pages are a lot more fun to read than, say, a Serious Authoritative Life written in either high acadamese or no-nonsense journalese.... Sallis...underscor[es] the themes of Himes's life and oeuvre: the egalitarian vs. the patrician, his desire to force white America to confront the reality of black life, an artistic temperament that combined "repudiation and willfulness"...Sallis, James is the author of 'Chester Himes A Life' with ISBN 9780802776396 and ISBN 0802776396.
