Förlagets beskrivning
Like many African American writers, Chester Himes (1909-84) found personal and artistic freedom in Europe; his biographers, appropriately, are a French-American duo. They chronicle with perception a stormy life: a respectable, middle-class Southern childhood; rebellion culminating in armed robbery and an eight-year jail term; a writing career during which he won greater acclaim for the mysteries he cranked out for money (most notably Cotton Comes to Harlem) than for more "serious" novels. Edward Margolies and Michel Fabre, who knew Himes, sensitively delineate his complex psyche.
