Harlem-Romane
'Chester Himes ist eine Schlüsselfigur in der Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts, ein scharfsinniger und wütender Chronist des täglichen Lebens.'

All God's Chillun Got Pride
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books<BR><BR>Best known for his hardboiled Harlem Detective series, Chester Himes was also a superb literary writer, beginning his creative life by writing short stories in the 1930s while serving jail time for armed robbery. Selected here are some of his best stories - from a satirical tale about a student bet that purportedly disproves the existence of racism in Los Angeles to a chilling drama in which a snake invades a family home.

If He Hollers, Let Him Go
The searing debut novel by Chester Himes, 'written with youthful panache and a bellyful of anger' (Observer)<BR><BR>Robert 'Bob' Jones - crew leader, shipyard worker, educated, employed - is finding life impossible. Though he's recently been promoted to supervisor, he is disrespected and resented by white colleagues; and despite his relationship with the high-class Alice, he is crudely baited by the manipulative Madge. Over the course of four fraught days in Los Angeles, he is plagued with increasingly violent urges as the bigotry and cruelty he faces day-in-day-out become unbearable. Chester Himes's shattering debut is a masterful reckoning with the poisonous effects of racism, and a monumental protest novel.<BR><BR>'A relentless, gripping, classic novel, one of the most powerful exposés of what it is like to be black in America' LA Times
