Sobre este artículo
New York/London: Harper & Brothers. Near Fine. 1929. 5th printing. Hardcover. (no dust jacket, but encased and protected by a new, professionally-produced FACSIMILE jacket) [a very nice copy, the gilt spine lettering a bit rubbed but otherwise the book is unblemished, and has an attractive vintage bookseller's label (from The Satyr Book Shop, Hollywood) on the rear pastedown]. The second of three novels by this Jamaican-born author, a major figure in the Harlem Renaissance. Set along the Marseilles waterfont, its protagonist is a jazz musician, making his away among "the flotsam and jetsam of the human tide [which] sweep into Marseilles from every corner of the world." Please NOTE that this book comes with a new FACSIMILE dust jacket (see second scanned image), but this has not been factored into our pricing. .
Sinopsis
Lincoln Agrippa Daily, known on the 1920s Marseilles waterfront as “Banjo,” prowls the rough waterfront bistros with his drifter friends, drinking, looking for women, playing music, fighting, loving, talking about their homes in Africa, the West Indies, or the American South, and about being black.
