Paperback. Condición: Good. 'More than lives up to the hype' Observer'Set to become a publishing sensation' Kirsty Lang, BBC Front Row'An astounding achievement' Sunday Times'The lost giant of American literature' New YorkerJune, 1957. One afternoon, in the backwater town of Sutton, a young black farmer by the name of Tucker Caliban matter-of-factly throws salt on his field, shoots his horse and livestock, sets fire to his house and departs the southern state. And thereafter, the entire African-American population leave with him.The reaction that follows is told across a dozen chapters, each from the perspective of a different white townsperson. These are boys, girls, men and women; either liberal or conservative, bigoted or sympathetic - yet all of whom are grappling with this spontaneous, collective rejection of subordination.In 1962, aged just 24, William Melvin Kelley's debut novel A Different Drummer earned him critical comparisons to James Baldwin and William Faulkner. Fifty-five years later, author and journalist Kathryn Schulz happened upon the novel serendipitously and was inspired to write the New Yorker article 'The Lost Giant of American Literature', included as a foreword to this edition.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Originally published in 1967, dem is a classic of the Black Arts Movement. This surrealistic satire lays bare the convoluted and symbiotic relationship between whites and blacks. Coffee House Press is pleased to bring back into print this widely unavailable work.Upper-middle-class Manhattanite Mitchell Pierce and his wife Tamara enact the twists and turns of human relationships in this startling fable about the intersections of race, class, sex, love, and marriage. Kelley questions the nature and validity of subjective realities as he examines the constraints and consequences of prejudice.Mitchell is convinced he has it made. With advancement at work, an attractive wife, and a comfortable apartment, he has achieved the 1960s version of the white man's American dream. Then, slowly but surely, that dream becomes a nightmare, and Mitchell can't seem to wake up. Did he really find his boss's wife and children dead in an upstairs bedroom of their suburban home? Did his wife really become pregnant after a brief fling with their black maid's boyfriend?Notable as a satiric portrayal of white characters from an African American perspective, this milestone achievement tugs at our ability to suspend disbelief and forces us to reexamine stereotypes from the past and current images in America's racial divide.William Melvin Kelley's other books include the novels A Different Drummer, A Drop of Patience, Dunfords Travels Everywheres, and the short story collection, Dancers on the Shore. Kelley attended the Fieldston School and Harvard, where he studied under Archibald MacLeish and John Hawkes. He lives in Harlem, is a professor of Creative Writing at Sarah Lawrence College, and regularly teaches seminars at the Taos Institute of Art in Taos, New Mexico.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. I've heard about girls meeting rock stars in the wild without a clue who they are. Trust me. That would not be me. As a certified fangirl, I know way too much about musicians.Case in point. I just landed this sweet job at the premiere rock magazine in New York City. Thanks to my new insider connections, I end up sharing pizza with The Most Wanted-just my favorite band ever, no biggie. I'm trying to play it cool, but I've seen all their faces far away on the jumbotron (and up close and personal on my laptop). Thankfully, their drummer-Shane-is so dorky, funny, and easy to talk to, I almost forget to be starstruck. And lord is he cute. I can't even believe it when he invites me to tag along with the band to their rehearsal and hang out backstage. Or when he shows me to his place. It's everything a fan could dream of.But as the stardust falls from my eyes, I'm drawn to his quiet charms, fascinating mind, and banging hot body. I know he digs me too, but the thing is, Shane's wary of fans using him to glom onto the rock 'n' roll lifestyle-or trade up to one of his flashier band brothers.And I have an explosive secret.I'm not your average fan. I've run the most popular unofficial fan site for The Most Wanted on the Internet for years, and I can't even log on to gush about meeting these guys or I'll risk exposing my real-life identity and blowing my cool girl cover. If Shane ever discovers my deep involvement in the fandom, he may never trust me again.But the Internet is forever, and secrets have a way of getting out.NOTE: An earlier version of this book was originally published as Kind of Famous. …
