Review:

"For more than two decades, [Gil Scott-Heron] has been committed to examining those facts of the human condition that most of us would rather forget . . . he is an artist who has crafted witty but crucial insights for Black America." (Washington Post)

"A tense and intriguing murder mystery. Scott-Heron creates a fascinating portrait of late 60s New York." (Mojo)

"They are impressive and ambitious works that vigorously mix street savvy and intellectual flair." (GQ [On THE VULTURE & THE NIGGER FACTORY])

"With the pace of cleanly constructed thrillers they wield the force of a highly focused political consciousness . . . the clash of voices gives them a potency, both political and literary, which has survived changes in fashion." (Herald [on THE VULTURE & THE NIGGER FACTORY])

"There's plenty of tension and sex, but also a whole heap of politics. These are ace period pieces." (Select [on THE VULTURE & THE NIGGER FACTORY])

"The books are drenched with the dark overtones of America's underworld, battered by the storms of politics and race. They are as sexy as they are psychotic." (City Life [on THE VULTURE and THE NIGGER FACTORY])
