Synopsis
The first of Dany Laferriere's novels, How to Make Love to a Negro, is a brilliant and dense piece of prose, almost terrorist in its conception, by one of the finest novelists working anywhere in the Americas. Writing in a desperate, comfortable tone, with a working-class intellectualism on a par with Charles Bukowski's or Henry Miller's, the narrator wanders the streets and slums of Montreal, has sex with white women, and writes a book to save his life. When the narrator says, "This book is my last chance," we see the quiet desperation in his prose, and know what he's talking about. The narrator is an exile in a culture of exiles in Montreal, looking from the outside in, not realizing that everyone in the city exists in a form of exile, and talking about the situation of--and the fascination with--the modern North American black man with intelligent candour.With How to Make Love to a Negro, Laferriere began a series of impressive social and political novels about the love of the world, and the world of sex, including Why Must a Black Writer Write About Sex?, Eroshima, and An Aroma of Coffee. Laferriere 's fiction is like an extended essay on race relations, with conversations about psychology and jazz, why white girls like ethnic boys, what it is to be in exile, and the plight of the black man in North America, while all the time extending hands to his heroes Miller and James Baldwin. Laferriere has a fantastic, wry humour, and writes with pure joy and an astute awareness of the world around him. He has the ability not just to know the world but to laugh at it, in all seriousness., Brilliant and tense, Dany Laferri re's first novel, How to Make Love to a Negro Without Getting Tired, is as fresh and relevant today as when it was first published in Canada in 1985. With ribald humor and a working-class intellectualism on par with Charles Bukowski's or Henry Miller's, Laferri re's narrator wanders the streets and slums of Montreal, has sex with white women, and writes a book to save his life. With this novel, Laferri re began a series of internationally acclaimed social and political novels about the love of the world, and the world of sex, including Heading South and I Am a Japanese Writer. It launched Laferri re as one of the literary world's finest provocateurs and continues to draw strong comparisons to the writings of James Baldwin, Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski, and Jack Kerouac. The book was made into a feature film and translated into several languages -- this is the first U.S. edition., Racial and sexual politics collide in this cult classic that launched Laferrière as one of North America's finest literary provocateurs. Brilliant and tense, Dany Laferrière's first novel, How to Make Love to a Negro without Getting Tired, is as fresh and relevant today as when it was first published in 1985. With raunchy humor and a working-class intellectualism, Laferrière's narrator wanders the slums of Montreal, has sex with white women, and writes a book to save his life.
