Críticas:
Each page unleashes a fusillade of gags and comic sequences, careening from slapstick to blood bath and back again. . . . To borrow a line from Schuyler, the plot twists get 'more complicated than a flapper's past'-and about as fun. . . . Black No More is unsparing on the madness of racial classification but frank, and very beautiful, on the lure of racial belonging (The New York Times)
Extraordinary . . . A satiric tour de force that rips into myths of white supremacy, black nationalism and the American Dream (Maureen Corrigan)
Reseña del editor:
Extraordinary . . . A satiric tour de force that rips into myths of white supremacy, black nationalism and the American Dream (Maureen Corrigan)
It's New Years Day in 1933 in New York City and Max Disher, a young black man, has just found out that a certain Dr Junius Crookman has discovered a mysterious process that allows people to bleach their skin white - a new way to 'solve the American race problem'. Max, who is tired of being rejected by women because of his dark skin, leaps at the opportunity. After a brief stay at the Crookman Sanitarium, where he receives the Black-No-More procedure, he becomes Matthew Fisher, a white man who is able to attain everything he has ever wanted: money, power, a beautiful wife and good liquor. But as America becomes whiter and whiter, it gets more and more dangerous.
