Amiable With Big Teeth
Paperback Edition: 1
The unexpected discovery in 2009 of a completed manuscript of Claude McKays final novel was celebrated as one of the most significant literary events in recent years. Building on the already extraordinary legacy of McKay's life and work, this colorful, dramatic novel centers on the
