Paperback
Review:
"Himes undertook to do for Harlem what Raymond Chandler did for Los Angeles."
--Newsweek "One of the most important American writers of the 20th century. . . . A quirky American genius."
--Walter Mosley "Himes wrote spectacularly successful entertainments, filled with gems of descriptive writing, plots that barely sidestep chaos, characters surreal, grotesque, comic, hip, Harlem recollected as a place that can make you laugh, cry, shudder."
--John Edgar Wideman "Himes's Harlem saga vies with the novels of David Goodis and Jim Thompson as the inescapable achievement of postwar American crime fiction."
--The New York Times
