Mumbo Jumbo: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Ishmael Reeden Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iul 2017
'Part vision, part satire, part farce ... a wholly original, unholy cross between the craft of fiction and witchcraft'The New York Times
A plague is spreading across 1920s America, racing from New Orleans to New York. It's an epidemic of free expression, carried by black artists, and its symptoms are an uncontrollable urge to dance, sing, laugh and jive. The state will stop at nothing to suppress the outbreak, but, deep in the heart of Harlem, private eye and Vodum priest Papa LaBas has other ideas - and, possibly, the key to everything. A freewheeling, explosive blend of jazz, ragtime, ancient myth, magic and conspiracy thriller, this anarchic postmodern classic is a satire for our times.

a

hilarious,
and
deeply
attuned

the
exigencies

capital.
A dazzling classic ... exhilarating ... like jazz, the novel feels improvisatory and ambitious [...] It is a funny book about conspiracy theories that nonetheless feels serious and true. A philosophical and ingenious American race satire

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Mumbo Jumbo is Ishmael Reed's brilliantly satiric deconstruction of Western civilization, a racy and uproarious commentary on our society.
