Chester Himes and the Popular Novel: A Voice for Existential Blackness
Philosophia Africana 19 (1):27-39 (2020)
Abstract
ABSTRACT The work of Chester Himes, as exemplified by Real Cool Killers, is examined for its attention to social issues. It is concluded, as Polito has contended, that Himes is gifted at portraying an inner-city world and its problems. In a sense, Himes’s work also speaks to the post-World War II existential issues that drive some of the writing of Richard Wright.Links
