Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Name on flypage and black mark on bottom of text block otherwise an unmarked and tight copy. Seven years have gone by and three novels have appeared since the publication of "How To Make Love To a Negro" catapulted Dany Laferriere to instant celebrity. Now Laferriere returns to the arena of "How To Make Love To a Negro" in this searing, often hilarious look at the great Whore of America: Success. Is it possible to be a writer when women stop you on the street and make you justify the title of your first book? What happens to a serious young black writer when his media persona takes over? Sex, race, fame and class: Laferriere covers all the bases. At the same time, he explores black culture, never afraid to take on black icons-Spike Lee, Miles Davis, Magic Johnson, Toni Morrison - and stand them on their heads. Fiercely independent, piercing, insolent, and always well informed: no wonder he's been compared to James Baldwin and Charles Bukowski. Seller Inventory # 007333
