Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1974. First Edition in wraps. VG+ (soiling and light wear each with a touch of rubbing.). A posthumously-published book of nine short stories (including A Harlem Game, Double Nigger, and The Crossing) edited by Eugene B. Redmond, Dumass colleague at Southern Illinois University. Dumas identified with the black power movement during his lifetime [and] was also active in the civil rights movement. At the age of 33, Dumas was shot and killed by a New York City Transit policeman in a case of mistaken identity (www.poetryfoundation.org). Toni Morrison, author of The Bluest Eye and an editor at Random House at the time of Dumass death, championed Dumass work, even organizing a book release event with a glamorous guest list comprising the most renowned black writers of the time, commenting in an announcement for the book launch party, in those thirty-three years he had completed work the quality and quantity of which are almost never achieved in several lifetimes" (see the story on Dumas at www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch). Whether he is discussing the stillness of Arkansas or the static of Harlem, Dumas is clearly among the aristocrats of storytellers. Black life has never had a more powerful voice.
