Night Studies - Hardcover

NIGHT STUDIES.

Zustand: VERY GOOD. First printing. His third and most ambitious novel, one which he spent 6 years in writing, "follows the fortunes of John Calvin Knight - the fiery, driven leader of the Black People's Congress, a man whose life and career have developed as much in reaction to his father and the views of an earlier generation as to the awakening civil rights movements of his own era. But no matter how far John Calvin tries to separate himself from his father, it is his father's wisdom about his family's history - and that of all African Americans - that first inflames and ultimately engrosses the son, determining his own life and its possible successes or failures." This novel received the Carl Sandburg Literary Arts Award and in 1991 he received the first TriQuarterly Award in recognition of his entire body of work. 774 pp. Very good in red cloth with black lettering on the spine in a very good dust jacket (a bit of foxing to edges of textblock, rubbing to dj, price-clipped). Artikel-Nr. 86755
