By Wright, Charles
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1966. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Glaser, Milton. Teal cloth spine with white lettering over black paper-covered boards, embossed with heads, under Milton Glaser dust jacket, yellow endpapers. Fine condition; dust jacket is price-clipped else fine. Ishmael Reed has a wonderful retrospective of Charles Wright, dated Sept. 6 2019 (I found it on LitHub) which will introduce you to this black & bisexual author who rejected so much of the fame that helped other authors (in Reed's article, specifically James Baldwin) rise to the top. Wright did not want to be at the top and rejected tokenism altogether.
