I am not kidding. Reading this book as a 12-year-old kid in Oregon USA was life-changing. Any person wanting a glimpse of the Black urban experience in 1950s/60s America should pick this up. You won't be able to put it down.
I have read it twice now. One of my favorites.
Important book on an important topic. Extremely readable, yet a tremendous amount of substance. He is a very natural and compelling writer.
An excellent insight into life in Harlem in the 50's. So well written, you could almost be there. I am a white English man aged 75.
Exceptional book exceptional service perfect dealings with everything no concerns to worry about
