Sobre este artículo
Indianapolis and New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc, 1970. First edition. Near fine in very good dust jacket.. Inscribed first printing, as association copy, of this political thriller that follows a Black congressman as he becomes increasingly wrapped up in a secessionist Black nationalist group - by noted journalist and Tuskegee airman Chuck Stone. Chuck Stone made his name as a columnist and editor of Black newspapers, for which he was twice nominated for a Pulitzer. KING STRUT was Stone's only novel, and weaves together his experiences with politics, racism, and the Black Power movement into an intense story of the rise and cataclysmic fall of a bombastic Black congressman. This copy is warmly inscribed to Bob Amussen, who Stone also thanks in the acknowledgments for his "sympathetic and disciplined editorial scalpel" 8.25'' x 5.25''. Original tan cloth boards. Original unclipped ($6.95) dust jacket. 358 pages. Inscribed by Stone to front flyleaf, "9/28/70 / To Bob Amussen - / a most wonderful, / together dude who picked / up the pieces and helped / us all to get it together. / Words can't convey deep / appreciation; but, Bob, thanks / a helluva lot!". Jacket with light edgewear, mild toning and rubbing; a bit of chipping to spine ends. Binding spine ends a touch bumped. Overall sound and clean.
