Amiable with Big Teeth (A Penguin Classics Hardcover)

Amiable with Big Teeth (A Penguin Classics Hardcover)

A monumental literary event: the newly discovered final novel by seminal Harlem Renaissance writer Claude McKay, a rich and multilayered portrayal of life in 1930s Harlem and a historical protest for black freedom
Â
The unexpected discovery in 2009 of a completed manuscript of Claude McKayâ€™s final novel was celebrated as one of the most significant literary events in recent years. Building on the already extraordinary legacy of McKayâ€™s life and work, this colorful, dramatic novel centers on the efforts by Harlem intelligentsia to organize support for the liberation of fascist-controlled Ethiopia, a crucial but largely forgotten event in American history. At once a penetrating satire of political machinations in Depression-era Harlem and a far-reaching story of global intrigue and romance, Amiable with Big Teeth plunges into the concerns, anxieties, hopes, and dreams of African-Americans at a moment of crisis for the soul of Harlemâ€”and America.
