Publisher's Note
No other novel of our time strikes so close to the heart of the dilemma of the black artist in America that this contrversial, gripping portrait of a successful actor explosively confronting his angers, his shames, his past, and his passions. From its moving description of a boy growing up in Harlem to its frankly erotic scenes of love that shattered society's conventions, this is a narrative that cries out for social change and hits with hammer blows of truth at the conscience of a nation.

Industry reviews
"Tragedy calls out for a great artist, revolution for a true prophet. Six years ago James Baldwin predicted the black revolution that is now changing our society. His new novel...is his attempt to re-create, as an artist this time, the tragic condition of the Negro in America. He has not been successful; this is a simpleminded, one-dimensional novel with mostly cardboard characters, a polemical rather than narrative tone, weak invention, and poor selection of incident....The construction of the novel is theatrical, tidily nailed into a predictable form."
New York Times Book Review - Mario Puzo (06/23/1968)
