First Edition. Chester Himes: A Life is the definitive biography of the man and acclaimed writer James Sallis eloquently explores this one man's struggle against terrible odds - against his own life, time and temperament, and against demons within and without - and the writing that emerged, partly in consequence, partly in abreaction. Weaving together known facts, dissecting the fictions, Sallis casts new and clear light onto the contradictions, self-interrogations and misdirections that make Himes such an enigmatic and elusive subject. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.
