The Life of Henry Dumas

Beschreibung

Henry Dumas (1934-1968) was a writer who devoted himself to the creation of a black literary cosmos, one in which black literature and culture were windows into the human condition. Jeffrey B. Leak offers an examination of both Dumas's life and his creative development. Given access to the Dumas archival materials and numerous interviews with family, friends, and writers who knew him, Leak opens the door to Dumas's rich and at times frustrating life, giving us a layered portrait of an African American writer and his coming of age.
