Chester Himes
Acerca de esta escucha
The final, posthumous installment of the groundbreaking Harlem Detectives series, a novel of explosive, apocalyptic violence and a startling vision of the effects of racism in America.
The roots of racism and persecution in Tomsson Black's ancestry are deep and staggering. In his own lifetime, his misfortunes have become unbearable and, as they mount, serve as an impetus for a final and cataclysmic act of vengeance—the violent overthrow of white society.
When acclaimed crime writer Chester Himes died in Spain in 1984, it was rumored that an unfinished story in the Harlem Detective series existed that had all but extinguished his heroes and their fraught city in an explosive paroxysm of racial strife. Completed from his notes by Michel Fabre and Robert E. Skinner, Plan B is that harrowing story.
Includes an illuminating introduction by editors Michel Fabre and Robert E. Skinner.

The protagonist of Percival Everett's puckish new novel is a brilliant professor of mathematics who goes by Wala Kitu. (Wala, he explains, means "nothing" in Tagalog, and Kitu is Swahili for "nothing.") He is an expert on nothing. That is to say, he is an expert, and his area of study is nothing, and he does nothing about it.

His name is etched on the door of his Manhattan office: LEONID McGILL , PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. It's a name that takes a little explaining, but he's used to it. Ex-boxer, hard drinker, in a business that trades mostly in cash and favors: McGill's an old-school P.I. working a city that's gotten fancy all around him. Fancy or not, he has always managed to get by - keep a roof over the head of his wife and kids, and still manage a little fun on the side - mostly because he's never been above taking a shady job for a quick buck.

James Baldwin's Nobody Knows My Name records the last months of this famed American writer's 10-year self-exile in Europe, his return to America and to Harlem, and his first trip south at the time of the school integration battles. It contains Baldwin's controversial and intimate profiles of Norman Mailer, Richard Wright, and Ingmar Bergman. And it explores such varied themes as the relations between blacks and whites, the role of blacks in America and in Europe, and the question of sexual identity.

Stefan Zweig's memoir, The World of Yesterday, recalls the golden age of prewar Europe - its seeming permanence, its promise and its devastating fall with the onset of two world wars. Zweig's passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the brink of extinction. It is an unusually humane account of Europe from the closing years of the 19th century through to World War II, seen through the eyes of one of the most famous writers of his era.

This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent '60s and early '70s displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works. In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain - the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

Except “living the dream” looks more like scrubbing puke from couture dresses worn by hard-partying models and putting up with microaggressions from her white colleagues. Still, she can’t help but fangirl over Simon’s it-girl daughter, Taylor. Until one night, at a glamorous Van Doren party, when Brandi overhears something she shouldn’t have, and her fate becomes dangerously intertwined with Taylor’s.

When the body of reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found on a playground in the Bronx the morning after her twenty-fifth birthday party, the police and the media are quick to declare her death an overdose. A tragedy, certainly, but not a crime. Yet Columbia grad student Lena—principled, headstrong, and allergic to the spotlight—knows that can’t be the case. Despite the bitter truth that the two hadn’t spoken in two years, they were half-sisters. Lena knew Desiree. And Desiree would never travel above 125th Street. Something is very wrong with the facts. So why is no one listening?

Trigger Warnings A Plenty
A fan of the Grave Digger & Coffin Ed series I went in expecting a hard boiled detective novel but what I got was.. You know that joke the Aristocrats where each commedian tries to out offend each other? it is a fascinating work of art that at this time and place seems ironic and completely on brand for America right now. There is some biting sarcasm and parody of behaviors thats had me scared, angry and laughing saying is he kidding me? There is a nice addendum at the end that talks about Himes creation of this unfinished story as well reactions of the French press. This book is fascinating on many levels and not for the easily offended. Check it out if you dare.

Definitely not the same vibe as the rest of the books in this series...

Poor End to Beloved Heroes
I don't want to disparage the talent and genius of Chester Himes. I rank him as one of the best writers of his time, and crime fiction in general. This book seemed like a radical departure from Harlem detective series. And yes, I know that Blind Man With a Pistol was in many ways a jumping off point for this book but whereas that book had a cohesive narrative, this one seemed to be a Frankenstein of book. I also realize that it Plan B wasn't exactly finished. And you can tell as characters seemed to be rushed to their end fates rather than studied on. Part of me refuses to accept this book as canon to the series, and I'll take it more as the result of some misanthropic fever dream Himes had towards the end of his life. It's the most brutal, eroticized and violent book in the series which really isn't the problem, it's just that those elements seem pointless and without meaning. Won't recommend this one, especially to newcomers to Chester Himes work.
