Hi,
Long-time lurker here. I just read Jerry Bryant's "'Born in a
Mighty Bad Land': The Violent Man in African American
Folklore and Fiction". It is an excellent book, but it gave
me a hankering to pick up the rest of Donald Goines' books
that I don't have. Any suggestions on the cheapest way to go
(I only have 4 of the 16). I will also buy the 2 Iceberg Slim
books I don't have.
Bryant's book has a chaper entitled "Toast Novels", which
discusses Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim. He also has a
chapter on Chester Himes (I have his entire Harlem cycle
courtesy of Payback Press).
