THE HIT

by Julian Mayfield

  • first

This is a nice, collectible cope of the first novel from this African-American civil rights activist and actor.  The action enters around the numbers game in Harlem and represents "an important transition between earlier black writers, such as Langston Hughes, and the more militant voices" from the 1960s and 1970s.
