"Chester Himes, THE WRITER BLACK REBEL AGAINST AMERICA racist," James Sallis - FRIDAY THE 'REPUBLIC OF
Today "on Friday of the Republic" published a fantastic article by four pages dedicated to Chester Himes. A write is James Sallis. As if to say, a myth that writing about another myth. Especially if your readings are noir, especially if not disdain the social commitment, attention to the issue of race, rage and savage rhythm of an author who was the first writer of color of crime fiction. One who elects to master Walter Mosley. When a fair and independent publisher Meridiano Zero reached a result like this, it is clear that he does through a joint effort. Among the first people to thank, we can not mention Luca Conti, prince of translators, which this year has already put a farm in the Italian version of Elmore Leonard's Killshot, beneath a crimson sky of Joe R. RUN MAN RUN Lansdale and Chester Himes. Need I say more? I think not. Except perhaps the fact I never tire of saying, is that people like him that we have the privilege to read in Italian the best black fiction in recent years. BOOKS ALONE does not translate. And thanks to ATTILIO GIORDANO and LARA CRIN ' for believing in the pure talent of Himes giving ample space on the pages of FRIDAY' and Marco Vicentini for having decided to take the burden and honor to republish Himes in ITALY.
Now, dear readers, we are in your hands, and looted the libraries buy copies of the book by Himes. RUN MAN RUN. Why
discover a great writer, an author who has the same intensity as William Faulkner and Erskine Caldwell, the lyricism of Flannery O 'CONNOR, the same pace of James Ellroy and the same cruel and violent fiction of Cormac McCarthy's office.
Legget FRIDAY '
Take the book and let us know what you think. We wait for tomorrow in LA TABLE. The
your Aff.mo
