"Much of the novel is an expression of the intellectual and moral lost motion of the age...the special agony of the American Negro."
--New York Times Book Review
With a new introduction by Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
This 1965 novel is a remarkable narrative of childhood and youth, structured on the themes of Dante’sInferno: violence, incontinence, fraud, treachery. With a poet’s skill Baraka creates the atmosphere of hell, and with dramatic power he reconstructs the brutality of the black slums of Newark, a small Southern town, and New York City. The episodes contained within the novel represent both states of mind and states of the soul--lyrical, fragmentary, and allusive.
